Sometimes I get in slumps with my diabetes. I just put things off and don't watch much. I guess you could say that I get kind of "spacey" about all things diabetes related.

The last few days I've been feeling this "spacey" feeling. I don't test like I should. I don't log anything. I can barely remember to bolus.

Today, I've checked my blood sugar three times. Once when I woke up. Once before lunch. And once a few hours ago because I was low. Good pattern, huh?

In the past three days, I've kept this pattern. I've checked a total of twelve times. Usually, I check at least ten times in one day. Good to top your usual average when you're going on your fourth day.

Last night, I went out for a hamburger and completely forgot to bolus until about two hours later. I didn't soar too high, but it was still unpleasant. Usually, I'm on track with bolusing right after I finish eating or before if I'm aware of what I'm eating exactly.

I'm not sure if there is any consistency as to why I get spacey with my diabetes. Maybe it's hormones? Maybe I just get momentary burn outs? Maybe these times are the only way to keep my sanity with this disease.

Whatever it is, it really irritates me. I don't like being out of sync with my routine. It throws me into higher averages and weird food choices. I feel the long term effects of these moments racking up.

But no matter what it is, I can't seem to get it back on track until it just vanishes on its own. It will magically disappear as oddly as it appears. And hopefully, it will disappear quickly this time.
