Gym Time

March 18, 2013
 I got done at the gym and I kept thinking how I wanted to blog about it... I think I might have a slight addiction already. Fortunately, I can use the reason it's going to be a great way to track all of this for later on in life. :) I'm sneaky that way.

 Well the gym was really good for me, I was feeling crumby before I went and now I feel pretty good about myself. I know now that I can also bring down my blood sugar pretty rapidly with working out. I went there with a blood sugar level of 174 and when I checked it after working out it was 94. That's awesome! Exactly the area I'm hoping to be, just not yet. It dropped a little too much, a little too quickly. Another good thing though is that I now know some of the symptoms of having low blood sugar, because my body is so used to it being high right now I have to gradually bring it down. I started to notice when I was going to check my blood sugar and my hands were shaking while I was trying to do it. The other sign I realized was that I start to have poor vision. I was trying to concentrate on something and I couldn't. It was almost like I was trying to read something really little and I had to do it cross eyed. Not a fun experience. Following that I felt pretty unsure of myself, I didn't know if I was reading things right or if I was doing them completely wrong and just thought they were right. That's kind of a scary thought when it comes to most every thing. The last positive that came out of this was I got to eat a treat!! :) I've been waiting to do that since I found out. Too bad there weren't any cupcakes around.

 Another thing I was thinking about today was how I don't want anyone to think they know everything about me because they read my blog. I am very particular about what I'm putting on this because I am generally a very private person. I am only sharing what I feel is something I can share without freaking out people know it. Trust me a few hours after I put this blog on Facebook and saw how many views it was getting I started to panic because that meant all of those people now knew my story. I also don't want you to feel like you know how I feel now because you've read this. As flattering as that would be to my writing skills it would be detrimental to our relationship. Just because you have read all of this and hopefully have felt like a part of it doesn't mean you've walked in my shoes, it just means you now have a little bit more knowledge on how I've dealt with things and about diabetes. I love that people are reading this and the support I am getting from it so I hope that what I said won't discourage any of you from reading and keeping updated on me and my Little Diabetic Cupcake. :)
