Great Days

How good is the feeling of a great blood sugar as soon as you wake up in the morning? That's what I really call starting on the right foot. To see a number between 5 and 8 as my first blood sugar of the day is the perfect start. There's already a sense of achievement which gives an injection of hope and courage that I can carry on the trend throughout the entire day. Happiness.

Today was hectic, work wise, but having started the day in my happy range made everything else just seem easier. Not many around me (especially in my work place) probably particularly understand exactly what it takes to have a brilliant day in the world of a diabetic. But we know. That feeling you get on days where your morning blood sugar reading, your test before bed and all those in between happily behaved themselves all day - uncomparable! The satisfaction! The stress and panic as images and thoughts of complications cross our minds... not there on days like this. Bliss!

On days like this make sure you take the time to tell yourself you did a good job. Diabetes isn't easy, you deserve to be congratulated.
