Ok…hear me out….PE Sucks….
I am not saying I hate PE…but I am. So many unknowns. I’m constantly paranoid that my blood sugar will drop. Some nights I don’t get sleep because of low blow sugar, and then I am really tired or just overall feel off.
I have written about having friends you can count on in the past and it is still true. I have a Coach at my school named McKenzie and she went with me to talk to the PE teacher about what would happen if I missed a class due to diabetic lows. See, at my school if you miss class, you have to make it up after school in tutorial. Good and bad, I do’t want to miss every day to medical issues….luckily the teacher said I wouldn’t have too make up classes due to that! That took so much stress off of me.
Lets talk dosing….I dose for a little of my lunch because I am not sure what we are doing everyday. And PE is right after lunch so I don’t want to go low. And even when I do know, our bodies sure don’t react the same exact every day.
One of the first things we did was run…lets run a mile in a-half and call it a mile. This was not fun! And then of course the mile in half needs to be done under 10 minutes and 30 seconds and the teacher is upset if we are over that. I fell like it just sucks. My blood sugar usually goes high in PE…why? Most likely due to the exercise and not a full coverage of lunch (yes, your blood sugar can increase during exercise). But I feel like its easier to sit high then to drop all the time. The rollercoaster sucks too!
I know by the end of the semester I will improve in times for running and stretching. But the stress seems constant and the daily unknowns seem to be never ending. Some people don’t understand all the decision we make day in and day out.
