Don't call me a diabetic !

Ick ! Dia- bet - IC ! No thats not me. Its Jo-an-NA ! I am a person. A real alive human. Ok so I have an autoimmune disease. My panceras doenst make insulin. Been discriminated against for trying to make a living. Maybe you should not hire my panceras but hire me !
Not feeling well today. Almost wondering if Im getting a cold. You know sore throat, nose, drainage. If im not any better I'm thinking about staying home tomorrow. My boss will love that ! I finally got all the paperwork cleared off my desk and now when I go back it will all be piled on once again. This mistake and that mistake and that wasnt good enough and am I the only one ?! My bg has been bouncing up and down. Went to pick up a friend of mine to take her to work cause her truck broke down. Gosh she is the first person who has said to me that I dont look well. Having a great weekend mom is on the war path and all I would like to do is take a nap. HA ! Sorry just not in a very happy mood today.

31 years

Seems like a life time ago. Here I am already in my mid 40's and I look back trying to remember what life was like before diabetes. I cant. I dont know.

Yesterday was a wild blood sugar day. Woke up 215 mg/dl and then stayed in the low 40-50's couldnt get out of it until later that night. I wish that I could make the people around me understand what it feels like then maybe they wouldnt look at me like im somekind of freak of nature. Just want someone to understand. They dont. They choose not too I gusse.

For the first time in 31 years I had dka. It was during the middle of the work day and there is nobody eles to take my place. The lady who was in the office with me was ready to dump sugar down me ! Inside I was thinking I must muster up enought strenght to punch her just in case she does lol !
And I work with people in the healthcare field.
