Today has been a generally bad day diabetes wise, so please excuse me whilst I indulge in a rant. I know you guys will understand! I generally try to be positive about my diabetes but it was hard to do that today!
I woke up late for work and was rushing around, my morning bolus for my daily two scrambled eggs really hurt when I was trying to get the needle through my skin, I don't know why it did, just a random blunt needle I think, so that did not help my mood! Work was really busy (im a vet nurse) and I had to assist with several euthanasias and it just makes me feel sad, even when i know it's the right thing to do, it still gets me. Hypo at work after lunch, treated all ok, but mood not improving. When I got home from work this evening had a letter from my retinopathy screening to tell me I do have background retinopathy. This is the first time I've ever had this letter and I panicked and cried before ringing my DSN who has reassured me, that as they don't want to see me back for another 12 months, it's really nothing to worry about, but it still made me very anxious, and I know I'll continue to feel that way for a few days. Another hypo before dinner, and just as I'd decided to go out for a walk this evening to enjoy the evening sun I have another hypo. Stupid hot weather! Cue a mini tantrum from me with a tiny bit of foot stamping because I hate this! And it's not fair.
However, on a positive note I was treating the hypo with jelly babies when the ice cream van came into my road so I am also having an insulin free ice cream cone as part of my hypo treatment! Do you think if I told the ice cream man it was for medical reasons he'd give me a discount next time?! 😛
Ok guys, thanks for listening! I hope you're all having better days than me and enjoying this sunshine! Xxx
