Questions are Good

I believe that people living with diabetes question a lot in their life. Personally, I wonder how many of my coworkers truly understand what it is like to live with diabetes. On a daily basis I will be asked if I can eat that. I’m not going to lie it does get a little old but every time I’m asked it is a chance to teach someone about diabetes.

While at work the other day someone that I would call a good friend extended the olive branch and asked some meaningful questions. While working with him I excused myself and said I needed to go get something to eat or I’d be in trouble. I returned a minute later with a Mountain Dew and a cliff bar. I was asked “so soda and not juice? Why?” I explained that I would need that very quick fix and that soda does that where as juice will raise it and keep it higher longer.” I then explained that I’d probably be falling out of range right before lunch because I didn’t get a juice. He then asked about what I was feeling. I told him my lips were numb and that getting sugar was the only thing on my mind. As I walked back to have my snack in his office I asked “what happened to everything I was working on?” Twenty minutes later I walked out of his office and said thanks and went and grab the cart that I was working on.

When he yelled out “are you serious!!” I didn’t know what was going on. He said “you went and got that cart without thinking, you knew where it was the whole time!!” I explained I had no clue when I came back but once my blood sugar was back in range my brain came back and everything was normal. He laughed and said “you make it look to easy. I had no idea that’s what you go through when you get a soda”
