Planning

That’s the biggest change that diabetes has made in my life.  I have to plan everything and plan for everything.

BD, I would grab a dog that was scheduled for dog class, jump in the car, and get there.  Now I have to make sure I have supplies available in case I lose a set, insulin goes bad, etc.  I have to test my blood sugar before I get in the car, before I get on the training field and again before I drive home.

Today after school I’m going to a teacher workshop in Houston.  Going involved making sure I had enough supplies and even medications just in case something happened.  Hey, it is Houston, and they’ve been known to have weird things come up before without warning.

But every action these days requires infinitely more planning than ever before.  I miss being spontanenous.
