| I think whenever we're handed a "chronic condition" such as diabetes, the control necessary for good health makes us so hyper-aware of everything going on in our bodies, especially at first. I know at one point, everytime ANYTHING happened, I would check my blood sugar. Have a headache? stick finger. Sore throat? stick finger, Anxiety? Stick finger. It does lesson somewhat, but even now, I wonder what my diabetes is doing at different times.
