Before dinner "Did you take your shot?'"
(That would be the Byetta shot that controls his blood sugar.")
"No, i'm out."
(I'm going to regret asking this....)
"So, how long have you been out?"
(Just breathe, deep, deeper.)
"Oh, a few days."
(Let the argument begin!)
Diabetes is funny. There are no immediate consequences to your actions. One morning you will wake up blind. And that will be it. We have fought over this many many times. He has had 2 heart attacks, three stents, two cardiac catherizations, his toes are cool to the touch. The list goes on.
His blood sugar (which he will not test) is probably off the charts.
I love him...but live with the knowledge that at any moment either diabetes or heart disease will take him.
Yeah... diabetes is funny.
