Living with Diabetes 1.5
I’m tired. I have another yeast infection. Because I’ve been treating my body like shit – eating poorly and too much sugar… tired of worrying. Tired of not feeling settled.
(Also at this point I have just finished my orientation at Kaslo so technically have two part time and one casual job. I am working an average of 6 days a week or runs of 7 or 8 (sometimes massage and nurse in one day) with two days off.)
Called in sick today – sore throat, one tonsil inflamed…
Tired. Always. Must be getting tired of reading about how tired I am.
I noticed today that my vision has improved, almost back to normal. Faces, street signs all clear again. 6 days of no sugar.
Sleep is all fucky. Awake at 2:30am after 5 hrs… I’m afraid of this… that it is a progression of diabetes – poor wound healing, unexplained weight loss (I’m down to 170 lbs from 180 in June and I’m barely exercising and not eating well at all.) And I’m working way too much… now it’s 3:30 am and technically I have to get up in 1 1/2 hrs and I am feeling exhausted now. Should I try and sleep for an hour? Don’t know if I have a choice, I might have to…
Optometrist suspicious that the blurry eyes has to do with BG levels (nothing is actually physically wrong with them). I don’t want to think about it.
Slept 9 hrs could easily nap now but have to get ready for work. Tired, stressed. Eyes still blurry – the distance I can see with my glasses feels way less than it should be.
Day shift- hard, but good. Came home and slept for two hours. Now it’s 9pm and I’m in bed. It’s probably good- been pushing way too hard lately- eyes tired too- last few days have been more and more blurry. Need to rest them more, I am guessing.
