Welcome Back

June 3, 2013
So, for a few weeks I was doing awesome. I didn't take any insulin and I was feeling just fine. I still watched what I was eating and how I was feeling,  but I was doing just fine. I was starting to question whether or not I even had diabetes. As far as I was concerned, I was in an incredible honeymoon phase of my diabetes or I was given the wrong diagnosis.

I should've kept taking my insulin even if they were lower doses because my body wouldn't have had to work so hard. A week or so ago I could feel that my body was just giving up on me. My sharp pains were coming back, I had little to no motivation, and I was getting more headaches than I wanted. I started to check my blood sugar even more often but every time I checked it I had completely normal readings. I was starting to think it was something else or that my monitor wasn't working right. I slowly started taking a little insulin here and then, even though it didn't seem to be helping much.

Last Saturday I was at work and you couldn't believe how awful I felt. Well,  you probably could because I looked like I had the life drained out of me. It was one of the worst days ever. I went to check my blood sugar because I was so worried at how sick I was feeling. This is what I found. Welcome back diabetes! Not really though, because I liked feeling normal again.

I'm still getting back into the routine. I just know I need to keep doing it. I need to be extra cautious and ignore the part of me that still thinks I'm normal. It'll take a lot longer now to adjust but I think I'll be just fine :)
