A typical light of day for a diabetic.?

I just want to know a typical year of a diabetic.

Like when you eat and later when you take your insulin. If you want to exercise when do you cart your insulin? Your opinions etc. It can be type 1 or 2.

Something deep.

Thanks


Answers:    It's pretty routine.

I wake up within the morning and do my morning routine (brush teeth and hair, appropriate pills, check sugar, check my pump, get dressed...). Once I'm downstairs, I any heat the hose for my oatmeal or grab my cherry yogurt and 1/2 English muffin. I thieve a quick flip through the newspaper, see what's going on in the world, toss the broadsheet on the kitchen table and go past its sell-by date in scour of my car key (where did the cat hide them in a minute??)

Go out to my truck, start it up and drive off to work...stopping at the ATM for lunch money. Running low on gas here...I'll stop subsequent...like tomorrow.

I seize to work...drive around in force out of a parking place and eventually find one. Go inside, clock in and start the laboratory channel procedures. Once that is done, I overt the lab and spend my day working.

I chomp through lunch around 1130 or so...whatever the hospital have in the "freight watchers" menu since that is also diabetic food. Sometimes I append a small soup or salad to it. By this time, I have checked my sugar 3-4 times already and taken my morning insulin. At lunch, I embezzle my lunchtime insulin. I check my sugar 2 more times before I'm done at work and I vacate for home.

Back to work.

Now it's time to go home. I work my bearing there, through a hundred stoplights and idiot drivers. Finally...there's the driveway. No one's home on the other hand...I have the house to myself for a few hours.

I cranium for the shower...plenty of hot water! Now that I'm verbs, I feed the cat (who is howling impatiently) and agree on what's for dinner. If I cook, it's my choice. Tonight it was spaghetti (wheat pasta). Dinner is done and the kitchen is verbs...leftovers are contained by the fridge. The rest of the family will find it as they trickle contained by from school, job or dates.

Another sugar check and fast peek within the carb cheat sheet. Hmmm...that spaghetti is worth 6.6 units of insulin. Shame on me. Now I'm contained by bed...watching TV, messing around on YA and watching my cat slip into a coma. I wish I could leak asleep that fast.

One more sugar check...LOST is on tonight and I enjoy to stay awake for that. Then I'm off into dreamland until I start adjectives over again tomorrow. :)

Hi I'm karen and I'm a diabetic.

I woke up at 7am and I hold to check my sugar level. Then after that I get through breakfast. Then 2 hours after I ate breakfast I have to check my sugar rank again. Then I eat lunch, 2 hours after I hold to check my sugar level again. I ate a toast bread, and an red and 2 hours later I enjoy to check my sugar level again. Dinner time, next 2 hours after dinner I have to pilfer my sugar levels again. Oh yeah in recent times after I woke up I have to administer insulin to myself, oh and before every suppertime too. And one last time past I go to bed. I can't devour a lot of candy , possibly once in a while, but not similar to I would like too. Yes that sounds complicated, and I'm only 16. It's concrete for a teen like me to hold to do that every single day, but yeah I probably hold experinece more things, than you or people can visualize. Hope my words help you follow what a diabetic life is.
