It's 10:57 and I feel like crap. My blood sugar dropped and is dropping really fast (so forgive me for my typos) but I'm trying to wait it out. I think that one of my problems is that I am too quick to eat and over eat when my blood sugar feels low and that causes a rebound. It's only 62 right now but I'm sweating and shaking a little bit. I really want to gorge myself on the life savers and dried fruit that I have in my bag but 62 isn't a low number, it's actually a healthy number, all you non-diabetics are probably 62 right now and you feel great. I feel like shit though because I am used to running a higher number and because my blood sugar dropped quicky to this.
This is the story of my morning...but I guess that it really starts with last night. I went to the gym last night and even though I ate 15g of carbs worth of lifesaver gummies before working out my blood sugar dropped to 43. That's a very low number for me but I actually didnt feel that bad. My bloodsugar went up rather quickly after I ate something and even though I ate a big dinner it stayed in the lower but healthy numbers all night. I'm in a routine of eating 8 saltine crackers with peanut butter before I go to bed to keep me from dropping low in the morning, but since I was already running a little low I ate 10 saltines instead. When I woke up this morning my bloodsugar was 205, still a good number for me but I usually run low in the mornings so that's higher than usual. I ate a normal breakfast, boiled egg and muffin (I should have skipped the damn muffin probably and had low carb toast instead) but around 10 am my blood sugar spiked quickly to 250. I gave myself 2 units and this is what I think caused the low. In an effort to avoid over eating and another rebound roller coaster I ate a few almonds and a serving of cottage cheese (9 carbs) and here I am in my studio at school, writing on this blog as a way to distract myself and wait it out. I think that its working, I feel much better now that I did when I started this post.
Lets take a look... 69.
I'll take that, feeling better so I'm going to start painting again...
