I know I hop from one emotion to another. My boss could not see the pictures well. So I am planning to make bigger instructions for everyone. All other workers said they can see the pictures thankfully except for my manager.

And of course you should blame diabetes, not yourself. I think that the instructions that come with a Glucagon Kit are horrendous: overly complex and difficult to read. The instructions on the Lily site are better because they are in color: http://www.lillyglucagon.com/how-to-use. The Glucagon app is cumbersome because they make you go through a lot of safety warnings, but it is still better than the B&W instructions that come with the kit.Laddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212090322026085867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725790449634143762.post-50161020414393867042014-10-17T12:23:58.567-07:002014-10-17T12:23:58.567-07:00I am not sure why I felt like I failed but it seem...I am not sure why I felt like I failed but it seems like these days I spend so much time trying to keep myself where I need to be. I have an incredibly bad habit since I was young of blaming myself for the lows but this is also furthered by comments from Dr.'s in the emergency rooms at times. I know I plan to work on this aspect but it will take some time.

I know I need to be kinder to myself at times I just was really hoping for more time being seizure free. I had to put more work into keeping the seizures at bay so I feel very tired in a great deal of ways. I am just hoping I can work with the Dr. to get back on track with no further seizures.Tarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547926811068847574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725790449634143762.post-88528477195184225022014-10-17T11:41:13.602-07:002014-10-17T11:41:13.602-07:00Oh honey, you are not a failure and what happened ...Oh honey, you are not a failure and what happened is not your fault. Diabetes is the one to blame. We try so hard every day, but sometimes things are just out of your control. I'm so sorry you went through this, but please please please don't blame yourself!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853213615426205881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725790449634143762.post-49800088724307802952014-10-17T11:22:58.032-07:002014-10-17T11:22:58.032-07:00... in other words ... you have an unpredictable d...... in other words ... you have an unpredictable disease ... you are a diabetic ... in other words stop thinking that you can control what can not be controlled ... I for one will not allow you to blame yourself, you have gone out and gotten more "tools" to help you in your fight with the Dia-Beast! Please smile and think, just think this hasn't happened to you for ALMOST TWO YEARS that is something to be PROUD of in the unpredictable world of Type One diabetes! (I read an article that there are 22 things that affect our blood sugars and the author admitted that wasn't a complete list).... please be gentle with yourself ...Minnesota.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674433647202798758noreply@blogger.com
