TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Came home from my ARCH. drafting class last night at 9pm, had a massive craving for something sweet. So, I had a small green apple and a low carb ice cream bar. My BL was already high so I corrected it and had my little snack ( I know it was a big snack)...anyway I over corrected and ended up having a low in the middle of the night. I hate it when I do that cause everytime I have a low in the middle of the night I get really bad head aches the next day and they make me feel sluggish and shitty.
Nonetheless, I am however proud of myself. Usually when I feel like crap and it has to do with a mistake that I made I just say to myself "who cares, what does it matter if my BL goes up, I'm going to eat whatever I want to, CAUSE- I- DON'T- CARE", but I was good today. I didn't freak out and have a whole bunch of toast with my breakfast. I made myself a healthy snack and lunch for school so I wouldn't be tempeted by th cafiteria food. And when I came home (even though I had one reese's peanut butter cup) I was good and didn't over endulge.
I wish I could say that it was all easy but it wasn't, atleast not at first. When I was eating breakfast I couldn't stop thinking about how I wanted to have an extra slice of toast, no one would know,... and when I was getting my snack and lunch ready I couldn't stop thinking about how I wanted to eat it before I actually was done making it. But because I controlled my anxiety I felt good and by the time I got home I felt really proud. I think the fact that my physics class got canceled helped too :-).

I just felt like sharring because the non-diabetics in my life (everyone I know) wouldn't understand my accomplishment of the day...
