I have a headache and can't imagine posting anything too insightful, so instead here are the things running through my diabetic brain right now:
1) How did I manage to keep such awesome BG numbers Thanksgiving Day and the following days, while still enjoying in my favorite homemade pumpkin cheesecake, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and chocolate caramels (yes, I indulged in all of the above)?
2) How come after getting back to work and my normal routine, including a good and sweaty spin session this morning, now my BG numbers are so high? I hope I am not getting sick.
3) Why have I been hungry all day, even after eating half a bag of almonds during the day and big fettuccine alfredo meal? Normally, it would be because of my workout this morning and my muscles storing up all the glucose they can, but then I would expect lower BGs, which as #2 indicates is not the case.
4) Why did pricking my fingers hurt soooo bad last week? No matter which finger I tried? Thankfully, that has come and gone.
5) Why does the nursing room at work always have to be in use when I want to check my BG and/or take some insulin? I guess some people actually need to use it for it was intended.
6) When will taking insulin in a public restroom ever become normal and not gross to me?
7) How come sometimes when I poke myself I bruise or bleed or it just really hurts, while other times I feel nothing?
8) Maybe having a pump would help solve many of my questions/issues? But then which pump, how much would it cost, how difficult would changing infusion sites be, how would I hide it under my clothes, etc???
Well on that note, I think it's time to schedule another appointment with my CDE!
Ahhh... the unanswerable diabetes questions! :) You aren't alone. Hope you had a good holiday!
