A Gift in Diabetes

Dealing with diabetes can be a frustration on the best of days, when my numbers are out of whack, for no apparent reason that I can find, it's enough to make me want to pull out my hair and somedays even give up. I am dealing with out of whack numbers at the moment and getting back on to a medicine I've been off of for two weeks because of the new insurance. It looks like the insurance may be worked out for the next year at least for this medicine but the numbers are still nuts. It still amazes me how tired I can be when my numbers are above 180. This morning I would have quite happily stayed in bed and slept the rest of the day. It's what I did most of the day yesterday. The gift in this is that I have good doctors and others who watch over me and I have medications that no one ever thought of when my paternal grandparents were dealing with the side effects of diabetes. I am grateful for both but I really need to remind myself of these things when I am struggling. Hopefully the numbers will be better tomorrow.
