Sorry I’ve been so silent lately. My inner demons have been wreaking havoc for a while now. The meds I started around Christmas have helped, but not enough. I’ve almost completely lost my appetite and have to make myself eat most days. That’s a bad, bad thing when you’re diabetic. VERY bad. Last night, I didn’t eat enough to balance out my insulin and this happened:
For people who don’t know about diabetes, when it’s that low, most people pass out and will even go into a coma. It has to be treated immediately, but I was alone when it bottomed out like that. Luckily, I stayed conscious and was able to get enough sugar in my system to get it back up fairly quickly. Two cokes and a bunch of sugar pills will do that. If I’d passed out, it would have been several hours before I would have been found and I could have died. So, yeah. I almost died last night. And I’m still not sure why my sugar went so low, either. I took my usual amount of insulin, with food.
Anyway, the point to all of this is that I’ve been struggling and I’m still struggling. Not sure when I’ll get all the way back to what passes as normal for me, but it may be a while yet. I just wanted to let you guys know that I’m still here, I’m just not up to posting or even re-blogging. Hopefully, that will change soon, but I don’t know.
