Crazy busy, crazy BG. ? DiabeticallyYours

OH dear gods.

Hi! It?s me again! I?m? Back! Somehow! It?s been one crazy ride through the gaming community on my part.

All this started with me starting a blog about a game I really love, Guild Wars 2. It?s actually a fan site and, after ArenaNet promoted it on their Facebook page, it boomed. I got really busy managing this community and, well, I was in the process of moving, too! So, creating a new community, moving to a new city, packing, unpacking, then new plans about Chronicles of Tyria (The community) with a brand new podcast, contests, holy gee I?m extremely busy. Being with Aaden, alone at home (My husband got another contract in another province!) I?m managing a community, a podcast, a toddler, a house and, most importantly, diabetes.

How hard is it to manage diabetes when you?ve got crazy events going on? Well, I?m really not good at it, to be honest. I need to setup a routine. I need to start working out again. (Oh yeah, don?t get me started on my weight loss journey, because that went down the Drain!) Good news is; Aaden is starting daycare at the end of August. So I?ll be able to work during the day on the community (Right now I ?work? until 2 or 3 o?clock in the morning and during Aaden?s naps) and I?ll get some more sleep.

The upside of working so hard is that the community is blooming. We?ve hit more than 80 subscribers in 2 weeks for our podcast, more than 2.5k views! Super stoked about it!

Downside; I?m not testing my BG as often as I could. Sometimes I end up having hypos during the podcast recordings, so I have to set my mic on mute and drink a juice box. Not the best diabetes management. Sometimes I test before meals and I?m at 15. What was that about? Oh, right? I didn?t test before breakfast because I was answering emails, keeping ?up with Facebook and twitter, scheduling meet ups? And the list goes on.

Also, I?d like to point out something to people who say that ?Being a stay at home mom give you all the time in the world to do everything you need to do?.

Having a baby/toddler/kid at home is like being at work. But work lasts around, oh, ALL DAY, you get no break and you have to cook meals for your boss on top of it. It?s all fun and games when we go to the park, when we cuddle after we played for a while, but you?re always busy non the less. You pick up toys; constantly. You do groceries but really, you have to hurry up so you can get home before lunch, prepare lunch, undo bags, feed your kid, put him to bed for his nap and then, you get to sit down for about 15 minutes. Afterwhich you need to do the dishes, clean whatever mess you left in the kitchen and all the food your son threw on the ground because it looked like the best thing to do at the time? And then, you prepare things for diner and work a little if you can.

I?m not sure I want to list all the things you need to do, but having to manage diabetes on TOP of it all, I find extremely difficult. ?Sometimes I don?t test before bed anymore. I?m so extremely tired that I flop in bed, sometimes still dressed, just to get up in the morning and since, lather, repeat.

Here?s a little look see at my very bad diabetes management. Don?t be scared!

When I went to see my endo last april? She said my control was excellent. I wonder how disappointed she would be right now.

And somehow, I wish more people would understand what it feels like to live with diabetes. Maybe they would give me a break sometimes!

I will be updating my blog more often, that?s for sure. I won?t be rambling much on the community, but more about diabetes and about being a mom, you know, things I used to be blogging about Haha!
