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
daph you should let them know, its not anything to be ashamed of! its who you are and you shouldn't have to starve and suffer because of that. have a standard nutshell answer for ppl who dont understand, or tell them to go watch sweet talk hehe- http://www.sweettalkdiabetes.com (see, even famous can be diabetic!) i think diabetics are some of the strongest people so u shld be proud of that, because you deal with so much yet you go on with life with so much strength and courage.
