Well today I was feeling low just after I had eaten my treat of a chicken kebab and taken my novorapid and levemir when I checked my level, my machine just informed me of just how low but by this time I was full that I didn’t want to eat anything else without any choice went on my way to get something to eat. My sisters eating made it easier to eat so went on eating and watching television with my sisters making jokes and laughing at one another not paying attention to what I was eating just eating for the sake of eating, and then I decided to check if I had improved.

Well what a shock after stuffing my face double the usual amount I usually do I was even lower then I had started with how does that work? My lovely sisters went on laughing when I had explained that I was lower than I was before but the problem now being that I don’t think I can eat anymore but that didn’t stop their laughter I think it’s because I laugh about it whenever I can, so they encourage me to eat I make do with whatever I can get down.

Some juice with plenty of sugar and chocolate I know that I shouldn’t treat my hypo with a chocolate but I think that why I shouldn’t treat myself after days of no chocolate one might resolve the situation.

So anyway now I am feeling fine and just wanted to blog on how annoying and time consuming hypos can be sometimes and when you’re full as a pig you still have to eat or drink something without any space in order to get back to a good level. For me personally this is the second thing that I most hate with diabetes the first being when I am high.

One night I was go tired got ready to go to bed was feeling a bit odd as you might call it, after getting into bed all snuggled up and warm had to get out of my bed and do a test because of that odd feeling and when I checked I was 1.4,what the hell? I have to eat but I don’t want to. I was thinking all sorts and all these feelings went downstairs and I managed to just about get a banana and a muffin I have no idea why, I was feeling really emotional before that for some reason.

Managed to get upstairs again with my stuff, turned off the light got my pillow and just sat on the floor near my bed by this time I was well out of it, my mind was on another planet my body was so tired that there are no words to describe it so I just burst into tears why do I have to be dealing with all this and no one has any clue everyone else just got into bed with any worries or concern in the world. Eating my banana crying got my duvet on the floor with me as I was freezing eating crying, lying down because I was so tired all the time eating then I started to feel really hot so I take the duvet off me and my jumper off as I am starting to burn up.

All these thoughts rushing around in my mind so I decide to call my fiancée in tears mumbling, slurring and he tells me to take a deep breath to go wash my face and call him back so I hang up don’t move from my spot something telling me it’s not a good idea still in tears now in the middle of my muffin so instead of calling him I decide to text him.

The text goes I am low 1.4, tired; crying with a muffin on my bedroom floor is that enough because he had asked me what was wrong and I could not put it into words as I was all over the place.After the muffin had kicked in I was so knackered I got into bed somehow and feel asleep.

Diabetes is a 24 hours kind of thing diabetics might not show how hard it can be but sometimes it’s a lot of hassle and hard work and the not knowing when the levels are going to drop or go sky high is something that is confusing as well as worrying so you have to be ready for any sort of predicament.
