9 February 2013

Breakfast:  I went to IHOP and had a t-bone steak, two pancakes and coffee.
<blockquote>
I saw a sad sight when I was leaving the Men's Room: a Father and Son were standing in front of the sinks. The Father was holding a insulin pen and was about to inject the boy. He said something and finished with "let the insulin work properly". The boy was in his early teens and much calmer than his Father. I watched the Father give his son insulin in the right bicep and I can understand why they did this in the "privacy" of the Men's Room. 
 
I fear he also makes the boy check his blood sugar in the Men's Room, which is too dirty a place for something like that. The boy should be allowed to test at the dining table (screw the other customers if they are offended) or find some private table. Regardless, he should not blood test in a toilet room.  In fact, he should have quietly rigged his insulin pen and given himself a shot in the belly at the dining room table. He should not care if the other customers are offended!
 
I will admit it took me a long time to get used to openly checking my blood sugar at work and I am still successful in fending off the needle!
 
It helps that I have a co-worker who openly test her blood and injects at the kitchen table at lunch. I know other diabetics who inject at the table and this simply is not a big deal.

Lunch: three small chicken legs and a can of Diet Coke
 
Snack: some ice creamme and Reece's Cups (I really should have had more than 3 chicken legs for lunch)
 
Dinner: Healthy Choice meatloaf dinner and iced water
