For those that read my blog on a regular basis know that I'm a bit of neat freak. I blame my parents for this odd obsession, my father made sure that he cleaned the Noonan house from top to bottom every Saturday when I was a child. My mother is also a bit obsessed with cleanliness, she always made sure that her car was spotless and works her butt off to make sure the outside of the house is immaculate.
What does that have to do with diabetes?? You'd be surprised that it has a lot to do with my diabetic day to day life. For some odd reason whenever my blood sugar is around 70 I get this urge to clean whatever room that I am in. Today I was in the kitchen, I was putting some dishes in the sink just before lunch when I decided that the kitchen needed an intense "low" cleaning. Before I realized I was cleaning because I was low, I had removed all of the items from the counter and cleaned the counter. I also dusted the top of the refrigerator and then I began to remove the knobs from the stove. As I was washing the knobs in the sink I realized that this was not normal and that I should check my blood sugar. When I did check my blood sugar I was at 67, I quickly grabbed a juice box and took a seat in front of the tv. As I headed back to the kitchen I couldn't help but laugh at the stove knobs drying on a towel, how did I not know sooner that I was low?
