I'm not the kind of person to complain about a Monday. I don't care that it is the start of the week and that the weekend is so far away. However I had a diabetes case of the Mondays. I awoke with a blood sugar of 334, thanks to a huge plate of pasta last night. I don't care if I was on a tropical island 334 makes your day bad no matter where you are. How much insulin do I take so that I get down a reasonable number, will I fear like crap all day and what do I bring to work in case I get low? All of these questions were asked as soon as I saw the 334. I would take 5 units, eat a normal breakfast and hope for the best.
My day got better really soon, i was off the wall and feeling great by 7. I was down to 45 after mowing one green, not even an hour in to my work day and I'm going for the soda and pop tart that was in my work vehicle just in case I needed it. When your at 45 you don't care what is going in to your body, you just want to fix that low!! I was able to finish mowing my greens with no problems and scored a victory over John with a blood sugar of 117 at break. (John and I are tied at 6 in our blood sugar bet!!)
The rest of the day I would be below 170 all day, the weirdest thing was that I had a slow day until 3pm. A nice irrigation leak would keep me at work longer. In true Ryan fashion I was happy to stay because I wanted to see how my blood sugar would act while I worked later than usual. I was very happy that all went well for the two hours while we worked on the leak. It is never boring when your living with diabetes!!
