ok so im going on a confirmation overnight retreat (my first overnight trip since i was diagnosed) with my classmates and my blood sugars aren't so...level when im nervous. And all i can think off is my blood sugar sky rocketing or plummeting. I keep telling myself to calm down but i can't and its getting overwhelming. I dont want to be the one left behind but i dont want my blood sugar all over the place... What should i do??
So confused.....!
catch phrase :) <3
is your mom going with you???? try not to think so much about the diabetes and more why you are there. if you say its a confirmation retreat, i go on church retreats all the time one nxt wkend actually and i find that the more i enjoy myself the easier it is. now im not telling you no 2 check or give insulin but if you make diabetes the center of the wknd you wont hav much fun, so what i do is get up check check atbfast wen we do psyical activities snacks dinner and bed. i also carry around a backpack(small if i can help it) that has extra strips insulin my pen needles my kit low supplies and like bug spray and watever else so if people ask i can tell them it has all the stuff i need and leave it at that. i also make sure i have like crystal light mix ins and a huge nalgne bottle for water with germ X attached so i KNOW i have everything i need. WEn i go to sleep at night i make sure i replinish my pack for the nxt day. it keeps me prepared and able to focus more on everything else. if you have anymore ?'s feel free to ask
