Stress!

So I’m on Day Three of using Bolus insulin and wondering why I don’t have it down perfectly yet! (Actually I haven’t even gotten one meal right yet, but at least I have a clue why they were wrong thanks to people on here!) Three Days and I want perfection. Do you think maybe I’m hard on myself.

Last night when I got off my little high/low (or was it low/high) roller coaster ride I went downstairs to find the pouring rain was leaking through the roof in several places and when I went into the kitchen to get buckets a mouse jumped out from behind the microwave! I’ve lived here nearly 2 years and never seen a mouse so the timing seemed particularly suspect!

This morning I was hanging clothes on the line and the instant I hung the last item it started to rain. I screamed at the sky, "This is not fair!!! Do you think I was really talking just about laundry?

I’ve decided the proper ratio for managing diabetes: One hour diabetes/15 minutes hammock time. Ok, if it’s pouring, you can use 15 minutes bath time as an exchange.

I like your ratio, I am with you on that one! Hang in there, you will get the hang of it. I know that I get perfectionistic and frustrated when things don’t fall into place right away with diabetes care regimens. When all else fails, a good This is not fair scream is totally understandable and the right way to respond in my opinion :slight_smile:
