Hi
I used to post here frequently and then got sick and stepped back for a while from a lot of things...including this
The reason I was sick is because I have a blood sugar disorder (I've had it for a while, it just all at once flared up quite severely) where I make too much insulin and causes drastic drops in blood sugar levels. I was having an awful time with it for a while now...you could probably measure the length of time in months so in between doctors appointments, nutritionists, class, work, feeling crappy, paying bills (ambulance bills = $$$$$$$!), I just didn't have time...by the time I had a chance to sit back and relax...all I wanted to do was just curl under the covers.
Now, it's all under control...I have to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time every day and it has to have specific amounts of sugars, carbs and protein. I have to exercise a certain time each day (only after I have a snack with carbs to keep my sugar levels up while exercising).
Anyone else a diabetic or have a blood sugar issue and can sympathize with me? Work is being a particular pain trying to enforce a "no eating" rule...when I am there during lunch...and missing lunch is not a good idea for me. I have to sport the medical ID bracelet...but luckily I found laurenshope.com where I can get ones that look somewhat cute instead of the typical boring metal one
Just wondering if there are any other diabetic or people with blood sugar problems that can sympathize. Some days I just want to be able to sit and eat a piece of chocolate cake and not worry about my sugar levels rising then dropping rapidly. Eating cake without worries would be pretty amazing
