major no-no

it was bad of me not to bring extra insulin wherever i go

and after so long, today i realise how deep of a shit i'm putting myself into

usually i'll just bring a pen around with me everywhere i go

and would only take my insulin immediately after lunch during my placement period cause i only get 30mins of lunch time and i do not want to waste it on thinking what would i have for lunch, counting the carbs and taking the insulin

so today, after having lunch, i went back to my placement site, took out my insulin pen, and my eyes went wide opened... only 8 units left and it is not enough at all..

now i regret not taking an extra pen with me or checking my pen before i left home

just a little hyper now..

moral of the story - bring an extra insulin pen

little tip from me

this is just a little tip from me to all diabetics

i learn from my diabetes everyday

and today i have learnt that it is a bad idea eat -> take insulin shot -> run

it leads to a massive sugar level dip

had dinner with friends and also dessert (ate cold rock banana ice cream + smashed kit kat and mini m&ms)

then took a shot based on the carbs

head home; it was pretty late, so i decided to jog home (about 5mins jog)

got home

showered, checked sugar levels; 4.3mmol/l

hope it won't drop any more; super tired and if i eat anything now i would just puke my guts out..

gonna head to bed soon and pray for the best.

have already prepared glucose tablets next to me, just in case i wake up in the middle of the night with a mighty hypo

tip for the day -

its good to calculate ur insulin dose base on the carbs u eat, but bare in mind insulin works more effectively when u use your muscles...

half of today

woke up pretty early today for a weekend

so i decided to laze and relax my mind on bed this morning

kept my mind empty for about an hour before i did some net surfing

watched some funny youtube clips and also read some blogs too

finally got out of bed and got myself ready for lunch

ate lunch while watching dvd

before and after reading was great

5.6 to 10.4

2 hours between readings

numbers like these makes me smile =D

makes me wanna continue going with full power

looking forward for futsal this evening =D

testimonial games for a couple of friends/teammates

off to continue with uni work now

enjoy the rest of your weekend peeps

xoxo

no one is sweeter than any diabetics

stored and locked.. slowly leaching out

it is hard to down some food early in the morning

harder if i wake up with a low sugar reading

it is even harder if i would have to work all day and the next time i get to eat is lunch time

0600 - wake up

0730 - start work

1300 - lunch

before it is even near lunch time, i would start shaking, feel the muscles in my neck spasm and chills running down my spine

oh and not forgetting bearing the pain of hunger; listen to my stomach grumble

cognitive function deceases drastically

mind is not at it's optimal level

one could fail at any time now

once it's is lunch time

i run as fast as i could to get some food

or if unable to wait till lunch, snickers is my life saver

why does this all have to happen?

it is because no one at work knows i have diabetes except for jerry

i know it is best that everyone around me know

but there is still that uncomfortableness of letting people now

i feel secretive

it is even harder if people around do not understand

and the awkward questioning sessions starts

very slowly it is getting easier

8 not 7

it all first started in 2002 and not 2003

marking it the 8th year

time do flies

starting to hurt

it is starting to hurt so much

after 7 years, i feel like bursting into tears

every prick and every needle, it leaves a scar

it hurts so much

one after another

i take and enjoy holidays, but diabetes never stop to give a me a break

insulin helps me stay alive, but a cure is no where near in sight yet

i can't wait for the day i could say goodbye to all

please let it be close
