I will not give up

I had to remind myself of this today. You see we are in the final month of the semester and classes are really heating up. Papers are due and finals are coming. I worked out with the guys to relieve some stress and stopped dead in my tracks because of a nasty low of 32mg/dl as if school pressures are not enough I have to fight diabetes in the mix. You hear all the time how you are stronger because of your disease or a better person because of it but at the end of the day I wanted to cry. I felt weak and defeated. We were all having a great time walking back from the soccer field which is about 3 Min's from our dorms and bam it hit me like a ton of bricks. I stopped and tested and of course it is low. I am amazed at my friends though they did not fret or run nope they stopped with me. As if I was not embarrassed enough one of our campus police saw us and stopped when he saw me test. He knows I am diabetic and said get in the car and took me to the dining hall for some much needed juice. Now I know that as diabetics we are strong and should never be embarrassed of a disease we did not ask for or cause but it is just those little moments that I just wish for a moment that all was right in my diabetes world and I was always at perfect levels. I then snap out of it and get back to reality and realize that I need not be embarrassed instead I need to be grateful for the friends and support I have to help me each day.I did not give up today instead I drank my juice and got back to college life. On a side note all of my friends just signed up to do the jdrf walk with me this year!! but more on that later.
