This is what I have had to deal with this week! I really hate diabetes at times like this. You see I have a paper that is 60% of my final grade due this week and so I have the stress of ensuring that this paper is nothing less then high quality historical research along side my Anatomy class presentation that also happens to be due the same day! Now for any normal college student this would be enough to keep them up for a week and on the edge of their seat till the grade comes back, but for me with type 1 diabetes I have to first deal with this number and get re-situated before I can stress the paper and presentation. I hate diabetes at times like this. I would love to say no biggie I will deal with this later but I can't I have to deal with it first and all else comes second. I will say that diabetes has taught me to balance and juggle all while keeping up in college and with friends and keeping my endo happy at the same time( challenge accepted!) and for that I must through some love diabetes way because without it how would I understand struggle and the crazy crap the world throws my way?? In a sense I am lucky to have dealt with this all early because I am now equip to not only handle life but to handle it with bumps and mountains along the way and so when I get papers and presentations assigned I can take them with grace because they are nothing compared to the effort it takes to get that number back to normal (whatever normal is). Now I can deal!
