Closing the Gap

A lot of times in sports for whatever reason one team will always defeat another.  For instance the Denver Broncos were 7-1 vs the Cleveland Browns from 1980 until 1990.  Including 3-0 in the playoffs.  What does that have to do with diabetes?  My diabetes will always lose to my work.  No matter what I do I truly believe that I will always have lows while working.

Today I closed that gap just a little bit.  I knew that I would be active all day long, I had extra Gatorade with me, extra food and a soda just in case I went below 60.  My goal was to end the day with the soda unopened, that goal will have to wait until tomorrow.  I opened the soda at 2pm, it was one of those lows where I did not need to test, I just knew I was low.  I had a low just before lunch as well but I was able to fight off that low with an apple juice and some Smarties.

It is crazy how paranoid we can become with our blood sugars.  All morning I was waiting to feel low, as the time passed and my pump didn't beep I became happier.  Today was a good day, I want tomorrow to be a great day however.  I want to end the day with an opened can of soda.  I'm tired of being the Cleveland Browns, I want to be the Denver Broncos!!
