It was such a lovely day I thought it a pity to get up. – W. Somerset Maugham
I’ve been having wonky blood sugars lately. Well, the past few months. Part of it is inconsistent eating. Part of it is that I’ve gained weight. Oh yippee. Whatever, I spike at around noon and don’t come down for a couple hours and then I’m too tired to move. Depression is playing a role in this, too. I am having trouble leaving the house. I haven’t written about it since I feel like it’s weird. It’s hard to even go outside to fill the bird feeders, no less get in the car and drive. I do it, but with the blood sugars, it’s next to impossible to get to rehab. Rehab might help with the weight and blood sugars. But I can’t drive that far when I’m high and by the time my blood sugar comes down I’m as tired as death.
I’m supposed to see the endo on Monday and perhaps he’ll have some ideas. Last time, our plan was for me to lose a little weight and see what happened. That plan didn’t happen.
Zazzy, I’m so sorry you’re feeling so ill. It’s so hard when you have no energy, it’s the absolute foundation of everything else, even getting out of bed in the morning. Maybe especially getting out of bed in the morning. I hope you get to see your doctor on Monday and that he has some encouragement and practical help for you. Maybe just a little lift is all you need and a review and someone listening seriously to you may provide that. Best wishes. Polly x
I’ve been around diabetics but have only learned about the insulin/blood sugar/food menu aspects of the disease. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have to deal with the spikes and drops while trying to live your life.
I agree with Polly and hope that your doc has some good ideas that will give you the lift in energy that you need. Take care until then. Will be sending healthy thoughts your way.
Me too on the SO TIRED. I could go to bed right now. My mom is diabetic, but she’s also old, so I’m not sure what makes her tired. Hope that you can get it under control. xoxo
Well, Sis, sometimes plans come through and sometimes they don’t.
So we try again.
Actually I blame the unseasonally weird weather for goofing me up. (Gosh, who knows what setting the clock ahead will accomplish….)
Well the plan is more of the same. My a1c is staying in a decent range – which likely means I’m having some lows to balance these highs. I know what I need to do. Now to do it.
OK, well in the absence of any other constructive advice from your doctor, I wish you good luck in staying focused. Best wishes, Polly x
