constantly adjusting

so i was out driving today and the person who was with me mentioned that when driving you are always adjusting what you are doing to fit the road and any situations that occur so that they have the minimum impact on you.

this got me thinking, with diabetes you are constantly adjusting things to make sure your levels are ok to do the things you want to do and eat the things you want to eat...... we see that our levels are dropping so we eat to make sure they stay high enough then when they start going too high we take extra insulin to bring them back down. then theres the adjustments of insulin doses if we are going to be more or less active or if we are ill.

diabetes means that we are constantly looking ahead to deal with whats coming and adjusting so that we are prepared for what hits us.... sometimes its not possible to see whats gunna happen and our levels play up according to the situation, after all being a pancreas is pretty difficult so your not always going to be perfect.....

tomorrow is the start of diabetes week, so I'm gunna put some facts right and dispel the myths that come with diabetes :)
