So what's with getting nervous about maybe getting a low before it even happens? Am I the only one this happens to? I doubt it. We all have so much in common, I am sure someone out there knows what I am talking about.
Last night, as the family sat down to watch a movie (Dinner For Schmucks-which wasn't bad), I started going over my carb count for supper in my head. And comparing it to how much insulin I had taken. And wondering if I had added the right amount to include the popcorn I was eating. And getting REAALLLY a little too possessive of said popcorn as I thought maybe I took too much insulin. Then I got that little niggly feeling in my gut, let's just call it panic, that usually sets in when I am going into a situation fearing a low and not knowing how I'll cope with it (like being in line at Disneyworld for Splash Mountain or actually in a movie theatre). But I was at home. Feeling the same panic. When I knew we could just pause the old movie and deal with it, then move on.
I ate all the popcorn, and everything was fine. But the anxiety was there.
I think it's always there...or close.
And guess what? Anxiety raises blood glucose. Ah, the irony.
