Last night my friends took me out for dinner and my main option was pasta.\u00a0 Now I love pasta and yet it’s a major challenge for both ED and diabetes.\u00a0 All those calories.\u00a0 All those carbs that are slow to enter the system.\"Spaghetti,<\/p>\n

So last night was challenging for me (I tried many different words there, but I’ll stick with “challenging”).<\/p>\n

I don’t think Italians often leave food so I felt rude.\u00a0 Though, luckily, my friend knows about my diabetes so at least that part makes sense to her.\u00a0 I have not shared ED – that’s my private cross to bear and just as with my new partner, her not knowing pushes me to eat more normally and that is essential for my recovery.\u00a0 In any case, I probably left about 1\/3-1\/2 of the pasta on my plate though it looked like I had barely eaten.<\/p>\n

Overnight, I had the dual challenge of a failing sensor that I don’t want to change until the last possible moment and a quickly changing BS level.\u00a0 From a nice 6.0 when I went to bed, to a not-so-nice 19.2 in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

\"Gargoyle,Today I am grateful I can go slowly on my own and putter through my day.\u00a0 I am tired.\u00a0 It’s days like these when I feel frustrated with diabetes and ED and all of it.\u00a0 These frustrations, ironically, fuel more ED thoughts and so I must fight my destructive side even harder at this moment of feeling weaker than normal.<\/p>\n

I know life isn’t fair.\u00a0 But I can still wish it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
