I have type 1 Diabetes. I wanted to create this blog to spread awareness about Diabetes as a whole. This is my first post so bare with me.
So actually, I just had to stop writing because as I was putting this together I was starting to think that my blood sugar was high, just a feeling because before my mom left for the store she said that she was gonna get dinner and I said I wasn't hungry. Why wouldn't I be hungry? It is about 7:30pm and I ate lunch at 2:00pm, common sense should of told me something right away, but I honestly just don't know sometimes what my blood sugar is doing. It has a mind of its own. I just tested and guess what?! 345! My blood sugar was 345! Just to give you an idea, my blood sugar should be between the ranges of 70-120 to stay perfect, however I tend to have a lot in the high one hundred areas like 180 etc. Anyway 345 is way too high. I just took a needle of 4 units of insulin to bring it down. However, I wear an insulin pump, but when my blood sugar is that high I always prefer to take a needle because i think it brings it down quicker. I mess sometimes with my carbohydrate counting when I'm at college because I tend to eat out and certain places don't have the exact amounts of carbohydrates listed for what I'm about to eat so as usual, I guess. Well I guessed wrong today, but it's not my fault, you honestly can't always tell how many carbs are in certain foods. I'll just try harder next time.
Well I honestly didn't know when I started to write this what I would write about, but when I tested my blood sugar I was like UGH, then I was like I might as well get something positive out of this. I figured I'll tell you guys about it. I want you to know what it's like. I know you can't fully understand if you are not a type 1 Diabetic, but if your willing to read my story and you gain interest, just think you may be able to help someone else like me or you may run across another type 1 Diabetic in your lifetime and be like "Hey I think I know what your talking about" and believe me as a type 1 Diabetic, it is comforting to hear that.
So if you choose to read more of my blogs, just know that I truly appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
