One bump after another is o.k. When you live with a diabetic you learn to expect that! Click Here!But somedays are mountains! You know you start off taking care of business and it seems everything that can go wrong does. When it does go wrong the diabetic person gets all bent out of shape and moody. They usually do not handle stress as well as non diabetics and that is understandable. When they are under stress, their blood sugar is out of whack. When that happens, they have mood swings and they need to get their blood sugar down so they can handle it better. Click Here!
Can you imagine how you would feel if problems are going on all around you and you cannot focus? It is not your fault. You need to rest, take a deep breath, check your blood sugar and then think! Click Here!
All morning long my husband, Bud had to deal with issues. The air conditioner on the travel trailer would not work and we were leaving on vacation. How could we sleep as hot as it is? The generator would not start and we needed the generator so we would have electricity if the air conditioner would work. Bud had groceries in the freezer and could not remember how to turn the refrigerator to butane. One major crisis after another! How could a normal person deal with these?
Bud's whole morning was like this and then he headed out of town. When he got to the R.V. park the guys worked all day long and could not get the air conditioner to work. It was 91 degrees outside. No sleeping at all that night as he saw it!
However, someone came with an air conditioner he could use and installed it and all was fine. Bud was set for the night. The mountain vanished. Click Here!Sometimes when the diabetic has issue after issue, it's time to take a break and eat a snack and think the problem through. Blood sugar levels can get in the way! Sometimes, Bud works and works and forgets to eat, take a break or anything and he cannot function well when he does that. I try to remind him to not forget but I am not always there to remind him.
If you see this happening to your diabetic spouse, remind him or her to eat, take a break, check their blood sugar, or do all three. Problems always look smaller when you think them through. The mountain will become a bump again and you can drive right over it! Click Here!
Diabetes not only affects all the major organs in your body, it can also affect their thinking. It is just another page in the life of a diabetic and you may have to help him drive over that mountain or to shrink it to a bump!
