Okay, PE Sucks….I’m not saying I hate PE but I am.
I am constantly paranoid my blood sugar will drop. Some nights I don’t get a lot of sleep because of low blood sugar…nothing like being woken up to drink juice or eat some gummy bears. That may be some peoples dream, but not mine. Sleep is my dream. So on nights where I have low blood sugar I wake up feeling really off and tired. Which then makes me nervous for the activity that will make that happen.
I have talked about having people you can count on in the past when it comes to diabetes. One of the people I have come to count on is a Site Coach at my school, McKenzie. Her and I went to my PE teacher to talk about my diabetes and making up classes. At my school there is a dedicated 30 minutes after school called Tutorial. We can go to any class to make up work we missed or get help for any homework or in class assignments. I definitely do not want to be making up any PE classes I miss due to health after school. I could be there all week! I try to be extra careful and not dose entirely for lunch because I go straight into PE. However, there is always the unknown. Most days I go high due to the activity. I noticed this at the gym one time too. My mom thinks it could be the cortisol…but who knows…
Good news, I don’t have to make up any classes I miss due to my health. Wahoo. However, having to run a mile in a half in under 10 minutes and 30 seconds….it sucks. And sometimes, my pump site hurt. I have discovered they hurt if they are put on the night before or morning of the run. Not sure why, but that is the case.
Anyways, the unknowns suck for alot of people. Especially T1D’s.
