And this is why.....

This is the leftovers of a terrible low that just did not want to come up. I am sharing this because this is why I want a cure. I should have been writing my history paper on the Antebellum period, but no instead I spent an hour trying to fight this low. It was a stubborn 34 mg/dl. I am lucky to have an amazing group of friends who are joining me in my JDRF walk this year. It is going to be amazing and this post is just part of the reason as to why I walk because in all honesty a high sucks just as bad but until the cure is a reality I will con't to walk and fight. To have the people I have in my life willing to join the walk and raise the money even though they personally do not deal with the disease is just wonderful and I feel amazingly blessed by it.

Stressing lows

It has to be really weird but I am stressing a lot lately and my blood sugars are dropping because of it. Should I not be fighting highs? I think I would rather fight the highs seeing as I do not feel the lows (thank goodness for pinky my CGM) I am used to blood sugars more like this 

I work hard for this stability which is difficult in college especially nursing school. I think this has to do with the heat seeing as C (the guy diabetic I meet) said he is dealing with the same lows. in fact we were running in to the chow hall at the same time before lunch looking for juice to treat the lows. he was 54 mg/dl and I was 43 mg/dl. So we got to talking and found each is dealing with the same issues. So we decided that this was not a magic cure of our diabetes but more likely the heat since that is where we are similar with walking in it all the time going to different classes. Glad I found another D friend it helps.
