Bottle Rockets, Beach View-Photo via my iPhoneIt's the July 4th, the day when Americans (and former British Subjects) celebrate our independence from England all those years ago.
It's a day of celebrating with BBQ's, fireworks, attending Main Street Parades, or in the backyards of friends & family and watching fireworks on the beach.
And it's a day when many of us take a little Diabetes Vacation - And Mine actually started last night.
My friends had a BBQ with all the traditional cookout fare. Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, homemade potato & tomato salad and everything else inbetween.
My job was to bring the peach pie & the Presecco - And I took my job seriously - And might I add, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
It been YEARS since I had potato salad on my plate, and even longer since I'd eaten an entire cheeseburger with said potato salad on the same plate, but last night I did both - And had a slice of peach pie.
I knew going in that the diabetes math would be a challenge - And I knew that there was a more than likely chance that my numbers would be off - And by off I mean like WAY OFF.
I told myself that as long as I tried my best and just as importantly, enjoyed my time with my friends, it was all going to be OK - regardless of the resulting numbers.
I yes indeed, Ithoroughly enjoyed myself, and did my best to figure out my extended bolus and temporary basal rate.
I had a great time with my friends, I laughed with their children, and I appreciated all the little moments in between.
When I got home last night and tested, it was obvious that I'd miscalculated something (s), and my blood sugar was 300.
But I didn't stress - Instead, I did a correction bolus and relaxed.
When I went to bed, my blood sugar was 199 & when I woke up this morning it was 78.
And I will admit that Yours Truly was a happy camper.
As far as I'm concerned, today is all about celebrating our independence from all types of freedoms & life's barriers -Including diabetes guilt.
So celebrate today, light your sparklers, enjoy your BBQ & your pie!
Be aware and celebrate all life's victories & Freedoms, both diabetes related and otherwise!
How are you celebrating your Independence Day?
When ConMed is threatened...
“When a fact appears that threatens orthodox medical practice,
the power groups go into action. They pounce on the poor
pitiable ‘heresy’ and suppress it, if at all possible.
If it cannot be suppressed, it is explained away.
If it cannot be explained away, it is denied.
If it cannot be denied, it is buried.”
Alexis Carrel, French Surgeon, 1873 – 1944
And so it has always been with homeopathy!
