What Am One Imagining, Elmo? A Diabetes Cure - Thank You Lot For Asking!

Once over again I'm writing nigh depression blood sugars - because it seems to live a subject alongside my trunk every bit of slow - But the Elmo matter is new... So it the cleaning closets thing!
3 empty juiceboxes sitting on the bed

Sabbatum was 1 of those days where I stayed roughly the household as well as allow the bronchitis antibiotics do their job. As much every bit I hated lying depression (and missing a friend's birthday party an hr away,) I knew I had to.
So I decided to live productive.....ish.
I began the long over due project of organizing my sleeping accommodation cupboard (thrilling I know,) as well as pitching crap I no longer needed. I did that most of the 24-hour interval (along with a nap or two) and was feeling proud of myself.
I was tired as well as when I did settle downward on the couch roughly 8 pm alongside a turkey sandwich I was hungry to boot.
Things were going corking until 9:45 pm, when I got that onetime familiar feeling inward my stomach, y'all know the 1 where the pit of your breadbasket feels similar it's dropped a few feet as well as your brow starts to experience clammy.

I took my blood saccharide as well as it was lxx - But my internal blood saccharide alert said if felt to a greater extent than similar a lx - mayhap fifty-fifty a 58.
And it was weird - because every bit shortly every bit I saw the release on the covert I started to experience worse. It was similar seeing the release on the covert gave my  internal blood saccharide elevator the OK to start freefalling as well as I didn't similar it 1 bit.

I downed a juicebox, an oatmeal cookie as well as some cheese as well as crackers as well as I waited until I finally started to experience normal again.
I sat on the couch watching reruns of "The Nanny" as well as tried to only chill.
Tiredness crept over me as well as covered me similar a blanket as well as past times xi pm all I wanted to do was larn to slumber as well as crawled into bed.

I wasn't fifty-fifty going to cheque my blood sugar...... I knew that wasn't smart, but I was hence tired as well as my meter was inward the living room as well as I was nether the sheets that were cool as well as freshly washed as well as they felt corking against my body, which had only broken into a mutual frigidity sweet.

And that's when a ruby flag went up, because a mutual frigidity sweetness for me almost ever agency a depression blood sugar.

So I dragged myself out of bed as well as retrieved my meter kit from the other room as well as sat on my bed.... But earlier I checked, I reached into my nighttime stand upwardly cabinet & grabbed four Elmo juiceboxes from the 10 pack that I'd seat at that spot a few weeks back.

I grabbed the straw off the showtime 1 as well as tore off it's plastic casing, punctured the box as well as hence checked my blood saccharide over again as well as the release lx flashed on the covert as well as I could experience it dropping fast.
My eyes started to tear upwardly as well as I wanted to throw my meter against the wall - but I didn't receive got fourth dimension for that.
I sucked downward the juicebox dry out until the box became misshapen as well as empty.... And hence I took the straw from the empty juicebox an punctured the side past times side 1 ( FYI: I've establish that it's much easier/quicker to reuse a juicebox straw during a multiple juicebox depression hence dealing alongside plastic roll that never seems to cooperate when my blood saccharide is low) as well as sucked that 1 down, too. And hence I waited..... And that feeling inward the pit of my breadbasket was all the same at that spot as well as I only wanted to larn to slumber - But I couldn't.

So I dialed dorsum my loaner pump's temporary basal charge per unit of measurement to 30% as well as laid it for 1 hr as well as xv minutes.
And hence I grabbed juicebox #3, straw #1, seat my caput on my pillow as well as curled upwardly into a ball as well as waited.
And that would live the minute when I noticed the writing on the side of  the Elmo juicebox #3 that said: Elmo loves to purpose his imagination as well as play alongside his goldfish Dorothy. Elmo wants to know, what did y'all imagine today?
And I right away replied:  Thanks for asking, Elmo. Right at nowadays I'm imagining a cure for diabetes hence I wouldn't receive got to opened upwardly some other 1 of your juiceboxes to process this nasty low.
I'm imagining a cure for type 1 diabetes hence I wouldn't receive got to await for my blood saccharide to larn dorsum upwardly earlier I go to slumber as well as then resign myelf to be OK alongside the fact that my blood saccharide volition most probable live high when I larn upwardly inward the morning.
I've accepted as well as sympathise the reasoning behind that fact already, but it doesn't hateful I receive got to similar it.
And at this really minute I'm imagining a diabetes cure because my heed is tired of ever having to think.
Sorry it's non to a greater extent than creative Elmo & Dorothy, but that's what I'm imagining.

And hence I sucked downward juicebox # 3  (which at nowadays that I think nigh it is actually juicebox #4) as well as waited until I felt it was rubber for me to larn to sleep.... And hence I did.

And the side past times side forenoon at 5:50 am alongside a total bladder as well as a blood saccharide of 312 and did a four unit of measurement correction bolus as well as went dorsum to sleep. I woke upwardly over again at 9:30 alongside a 71 blood sugar.
And the alone matter I could imagine at that minute was how practiced my showtime loving cup of java was going to sense of savor - And hence I went off to the kitchen to go make it.
