Rough Time with Diabetes

Feeling Run Down

Today I want to discuss Diabetes, I have been having a rough time with my Diabetes and I can only hope that I will the light at the end of tunnel soon.

I've been having a few low blood glucose levels of late, it is worse when I am at work and have to go home as a result of the low. For me personally it can take a while for my glucose level to come back up, I find it can take up to half an hour but that could be the normal for anyone.

I have been documenting everything, I try to include everything like my glucose levels, the food I eat, any activities that I have done and how I am feeling that day. By writing all of those things down my medical team gets a pretty good insight of what is happening and going on with me.

Having a rough time with my Diabetes certainly does not help my anxiety and depression, I have let those two things get the best of me and that is not okay to me. My problem is that I am constantly on the go and all I do is work. I need to start to focusing on me and do things that make me happy, for example when I get home from work I need to get changed and go for walk regardless of the weather or take half an hour and read a book. There is plenty of things I could be doing.

I have gotten into the habit of when I get home I stay in my work clothes and do next to nothing. I need to break this habit, I need to get out of my work clothes and get into something comfortable and do something. I have not been on my daily walks in such a long time because I've been sick and the weather has just been crap to be honest. I should be exercising, having Type One Diabetes it is important that I should be exercising.

It is definitely time to break some old habits and focus on doing things that make me happy. I can not let my medical conditions get the best of me, I will always have my good days and my bad days and that is okay.

I have lots of things to look forward to in the coming months and I think it is important to focus on those things.
