 We started giving me insulin shots on Friday, and taking my blood glucose (sugar, I think they say “glucose,” because otherwise the acronym is “BS,” which, frankly, I think is more accurate) twice a day.  Testing twice a day.  Injections at night. It is horrible, and if I start thinking about how I have to do this for the rest of my life, it is worse. I responded really well the first night, but honestly, my BS seems to just hop around how it likes.  It’s very discomfiting.  Also, my period is starting today.  Cramps and period pain and fatigue on top of caring for diabetes is NOT OKAY. Also I don’t know how I’m supposed to stay SUPAH-ACTIVE all the time when my body has a uterus and takes me out for at least a few days every month.  This is just so, so, so, so, so, so, hard.  And rn it’s overshadowing EVERYTHING.  I know this is the hardest part - the transition and the learning curve, etc etc etc  BUT ITS SO. SO. SO. HARD. Mom and Dad...

 Well, here it's THURSDAY, and I'm ... just NOW posting for th efirst itme this week.  And it's 6:10. I've got 15 minutes before I have to clock in. lol. It's gonna not work. XD Oh dear, and I just heard the Cat Chaos in the hall. One of mom's cats has discovered Grover's wet food, and is slinking in to eat it.  It's his fault for taking two bites and abandoning it. He eats like he's a 5 year old with ADHD.  Anyway.  I feel pretty good today!  Actually, fairly dang decent. I'm a bit crampy from PMS, but like ... my body feels good, and I don't feel OVERWHELMINGLY TIRED.  I wonder if that means my blood sugar is trending downward. We don't know yet.  I DO know that I've bumped my activity up a TON. yeesh.  Monday, I did my little morning walk. Then I walked on lunch for 30 minutes with Jordan. Then I went to the gym with Carey, and THEN we went shopping. Over 7000 steps. Tuesday was a little morning walk, and then a little evening walk...
