A Smoothen Similar Butter Dead Spot

Yeah,... It was ane of THOSE days - Know what I'm saying? 

#####

Last nighttime I had a high blood carbohydrate afterward a dinner (thank you lot leftovers that followed an amazing brunch) in addition to I knew it was fourth dimension to modify my infusion site. 

My electrical flow site was almost 48 hours one-time in addition to it was fourth dimension to say goodbye. 

I institute a rarely used location on my lower correct abdomen, virtually an inch in addition to a one-half below both the waistline of my yoga pants in addition to below the my previous site & went inward for the jab - And I barely (as inward didn't fifty-fifty experience it - similar non at all,) felt the insertion needle become in. It was a shine similar buttah, transition in addition to that made me happy. 

Sometimes infusion site changes hurt, in addition to sometimes you lot instruct a spidey sense that the site may or may non locomote due to the total of hurting in addition to or stinging involved - At to the lowest degree I do.  

And sometimes my spidey senses are incorrect in addition to the achy infusion site sucks downwards insulin similar a rockstar groupie... And sometimes not.  

Like I said, this infusion site insertion was smooth similar buttah (and immediately I can't terminate proverb that phrase) in addition to I idea all would hold upwardly correct amongst my world. And at first, it was. 

My blood carbohydrate went from 256 to 218 inward tape fourth dimension in addition to I felt prophylactic inward going to bed.

Cut to this forenoon in addition to waking upwardly amongst a 271 breakfast blood carbohydrate in addition to me making the executive conclusion midmorning, in addition to when I was notwithstanding hovering inward the 220s to switch out this site for yet roughly other novel infusion site.  

I wasn't a happy camper for several reasons. 

First:  I loathe having to modify an infusion site afterward putting a fresh ane it - it makes me worry virtually abdomen existent estate in addition to quite frankly, it but annoys the hell out of me. 

Second: The fact that the infusion site didn't hurt... or work,  made me realize that spidey sense or non - deadspots hap - fifty-fifty inward the spots that experience all types of hunkey dory.

Third: I but didn't experience similar doing roughly other site modify - my 2d inward less than eleven hours - See First reason. 

Fourth: Normally, I'm pretty positive when it comes to my diabetes, but honestly, it actually depressed me to notice roughly other dead location on the precious existent estate that makes upwardly my belly. And inward that minute I felt similar diabetes was winning when it came to my body. And I mourned the fact that this footling used infusion site would most probable non hold upwardly used ane time to a greater extent than because it but didn’t absorb insulin. 

If I’d convey had a dark sharpie close past times I would X marked the location on my belly inward SCREAMING CAPS - And hence I would convey thrown said sharpie out the window! 

We all convey those F-You diabetes moments - And this was ane of mine. 

Also: The irony regarding an infusion site that was hence incredibly painless but hence incredibly useless when it came to absorbing insulin was non lost on me. 

With the novel site I went from 271, to 220. to 156 to 96 in addition to in conclusion landing at xc but earlier dejeuner in addition to all inward the class of an hr in addition to 25 minutes. 

And piece I’m happy to hold upwardly absorbing pancreas juice like... well, similar a pancreas. This roller-coaster Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 La Dead Spot has left me feeling similar somebody pissed inward my Cheerios - And it’s made me tired in addition to cranky in addition to pissed off at my diabetes. 

But I’m non lone ( proper substantive out to my twitter bad infusion site/ roller coaster of blood sistas in addition to bros, @asweetgrace, @lifeont1, @dorkabetic, @cerichards21, @krisguy) in addition to I've decided to permit my result of the deadspot that didn’t wound or experience similar a dead spot, go. 

And immediately that dead location in addition to diabetes no longer has the upper hand

My novel site is absorbing similar gangbusters in addition to I’ve got things to do. 

Diabetes, you lot didn’t win this circular - You were sneaky in addition to pose upwardly a skilful struggle - But you lot didn’t win, I did. 

So you lot can just SUCK IT.
