And today.

Today, as I gave myself 5 units to cover excessive rice crispy eating I realised I don’t even notice anymore.
I put the needle on, give myself my insulin. It’s as automatic as getting out of bed in the morning.
I check my blood sugar when I get out of bed, to me it’s like getting dressed.
And that was when I realised. For the first couple of weeks after diagnosis, all my dreams were diabetes free. Now I wake up and even in my dream I was checking my blood sugar, I was having lows, I was having highs.
THAT’S how I know it’s my normal now.

I remember the time when it all became normal. It’s good – and yet to some degree it’s *never* normal. There are still times when I’m around other people and I stand out as different because I’m sticking a needle in me and eyeing up the carbs. I can’t just dig in to any meal like them. I have to check my blood sugar before we go for a drive or a walk… those times I feel NOT normal. But day to day, diabetes is normal within me and if that’s as good as I get then that’ll do
Geez that sounded kinda depressing! But hey, on a more positive note, we’re damned lucky to have a controllable disease. I curse my pancreas sometimes but I have to thank the rest of my body for hanging on in there and being as healthy as it possibly can regardless of my BG issues.
