I have to blog about this, as it irritates the heck out of me, but part of the school schedule change has involved lunch times.
My schedule at the beginning of the year — first through third periods straight, then A Lunch, then off fifth period (about two hours after lunch), and then two classes periods at the end of the day, was just about perfect for controlling blood sugar.
The schedule I have now is more difficult. I have third period off, then C lunch, and then work through the rest of the day. The smart thing to do is to eat something small during my planning period. However, I’m not always smart.
Today is one of those day’s that it doesn’t work. This is a kink in the works called prime time. It pushes our lunch period back by 15 minutes. No big deal right? Well, at our normal lunch time, my blood sugar was at 80. Yeah, 80. So I ate some sugar. I hate eating sugar when I’m low. Bolused too because if I don’t I’m going to be too high during AP Computer Science. Trust me, you don’t want to have brain sludge with AP CS students. You and they will be crazy.
Right now I’m waiting for the sugar to kick in. My hands shake, and I’m a bit on the bitchy side. By the way, being on the bitchy side doesn’t work with teenagers.
