People get busy, we all know it. And what we do when we're busy sometimes conflict with our health. We'll down an energy drink or take a few pills to keep us going. We even skip meals, I know I'm guilty for this. We see eating as taking up time instead of a healthy choice. Diabetics can't make this mistake. Skipping even one meal can lower their blood sugar level to the point where it needs immediate attention! As I posted in an earlier blog, my dad is diabetic. Recently, he had to be taken to the hospital because his blood sugar was too low. Next time we think about skipping a meal, don't. At least grab something to snack on. Some people don't have the "luxury" of being able to skip meals just to be able to have more time in the day. Just something to think about.
Here's a little something I wrote on this:
You know your body,
you know your limit
don't push
step back
You don't have to be
strong.
Not for me
I can take it
Don't sacrifice
what's important--
you
Please
Yeah, its not great but its just how I felt.
Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful."
