Guilty may not be the correct word to use. But it got your attention.
Many times I find myself in certain predicaments High BS, Low BS, due to things that I fail to do or do in-correctly to take care of my Diabetes.
I tell myself:
“Dargirl, you better bolus for those crackers that your munching on”,
“Dargirl, you better call the Dr. and review your out of control numbers.”
“Dargirl, you better take a snack before you leave the house or go to bed”
But sometimes Dargirl just does not listen. She is GUILTY of not following her own guidelines. And then has to deal with highs and lows and gets all pssst off at herself for not following those guidelines.
At first when I was diagnosed I was so good. Now two months later I find myself cheating . Just ate a piece of garlic bread. Last night I took a little snack bag of M and Ms and scarfed them down.
well, first of all, being a slowpoke with bills and insurance forms…it drives me crazy how slow I am, but do I change? not yet…will I keep trying to stay on top of it? YES!
grabbing a small handfull of this and that…dried cranberries, granola, chips…then my small handfull turns into two small handfuls and then three and then I have NO IDEA how many carbs I’ve just eaten! If I would just make myself a little bowl and move out of the kitchen, I could actually COUNT how much I’m eating, and avoid grossly over/underestimating my dose!
The Worst:
Having a donut with my coffee before class in the morning…I give myself my shot, I’ve got the carbs for the specific donut memorized! but Seriously? it’s SO BAD FOR ME!
empty carbs, pure sugar, not to mention all the fat!
But it makes me happy, and it makes my tastebuds jump for joy…
I guess it just comes down to me learning how to take care of the balancing act that is Diabetes…
