It not enough say, “Hypoglycemia can suck it! We have Starbursts!” It necessary say, “Hello hypoglycemia, welcome to our gentlepersonly world. How may we serve you? Will you be needing some extra insulin after your sugary treat?”
Bigfoot 98% unaware why hypoglycemia so bad. Blithely think it, sure, brush with death but easy enough notice/fix. Have some vague inkling long-term bad effect hypoglycemia exist, but not know about this bullshit. (Hypoglycemic episode desensitize body, require more insulin over upcoming time period of unknown beginning/duration.)
Lately Bigfoot and Bigfoot Spouse get cocky with improvise dose. Since Bubs require much less insulin when swim, begin nuanced fudging other areas, think total pro move. Smug. For example: if Bubs low before dinner, treat low. Once over 80, allow eat dinner. Tabulate carbs, ratio, then perhaps subtract one unit insulin from total since so low at beginning of meal. Read little notebook at end of day, compliments galore: “Ohhhh, I see what you did here, with the 1:20 instead of the 1:15. Smooth. Nice one.” That not right. Very bad.
High low high low high low. Wonder what this feel like to person inside broken body? Bubs always say it feel fine. Maybe notice feel low, maybe not. When high, feel no difference. Bigfoot try make game during glucose meter count down, see if on subconscious level Bubs aware high/high-ish/low-ish/low:

BFOOT: What do you think it’s going to be?

BUBS: I don’t know

BFOOT: Well, how are you feeling? Want to make a bet? I bet it will be 97
BUBS: Eh. I don’t know

BFOOT: Want to make a guess?

BUBS: Nah
Bigfoot also unaware test strip control solution expire three months after open. That a bitch. Why not just say expire every month, make easy remember? Or include complimentary bottle in test strip box? Theoretically, test strip useless if not have fresh control solution. Also: Bigfoot family pretty much never use control solution. Lulled into complacent, believe strips work OK.
So uptight/nervous, yet so careless/ineffective. Bigfoot also misspell non sequitur and Orla Kiely yesterday, also criticize person never met for blankety blank (no need repeat–it hearsay) when try so hard turn new leaf with say nice things about assholes.



These posts just crack me up! I’m sitting here feeling very blah today, then I read this & had to laugh at the last line. I can never be nice to assholes, especially dumb ones. Been on the diabetes roller coaster for one year with my daughter.
now you brightened my day too! it is fun that someone reads this.
is it wrong to only care about the hearsay, even after loving the rest? and feeling exhausted for you?
i complained that the rock star was rude. it is none of my business.
