DAILY
THOUGHTS OF A ME, A TYPE 1 DIABETIC
Do I need a snack? Do I have
enough glucose tabs with me?
Where’s
the juice? Is
that bolus worthy? I have to pee again, am I high?
How many carbs are in that? Is that person staring at me
testing?
How much should I decrease my basal
for my run/bike/swim? For how long?
What was the last thing I ate? Am I talking funny? Did I
remember all my vitamins?
Do my feet hurt/tingle/burn? Do I have
enough pump supplies at home?
What’s my blood sugar? Do I have enough insulin in the fridge?
Am I hungry or low? Why am I high? Why
am I low?
Is my vision ok? Is that person staring at my pump?
My head hurts. Am
I high? Am I low? Is it just a headache?
Is the time on my pump right? Do I have my
back up pump supplies with me?
Is that adrenaline/anxiety/nervousness? Or am I low? Is the time on my meter right?
Why am I so grumpy? Am I low,
high or just grumpy? What finger did I prick last?
Ouch that hurt! Where should I put my next infusion site?
How many test strips do I have left? Did I submit
my claim to the insurance company?
Will I make it through the night? I am
sweaty. Am I low?
Yep! So many of these run through my head, too! :-)
