I swear, there are times I just forget that I have diabetes, and make choices that are sure to make me feel rotten later. So it's not even that I'm choosing enjoyment over my health. I'm not even enjoying it. I forget that my body processes things differently now than it used to.
So I gave him permission to remind me.
I feel kind of guilty now for being rough on my mother in the past. Not that diabetes is the root cause of our difficulties. But I'd be sort of hmmm, not sure what, when she'd say that something or another would make her feel sick if she ate it. Or when she fell asleep for hours and hours. I have a lot more compassion for that now, because I can see that it *was* probably physical.
No need for a reply. Just musing as I sit here in the wee early hours with a splitting headache feeling awful after a heavy cream pasta meal. :( To my credit, I didn't realize cream was involved. I thought it was just a pasta meal. Sigh.
