Woke up early today. Really early. 4:30 am still pitch black outside early.
A week ago that would have been the jetlag from the trip back from the States. Today was just my determination to go for a dawn swim.
I reached for my glucose meter and tested, as I have been doing religiously for a week now. 5,8 mmol. More than happy with that. I know others are getting scores in the 4s but I don't let that concern me. This is not a race, not a competition.
My only opponent is me. My only enemy is my bad self.
And the diabetes.
I don't let negative thoughts spoil the mood, dampen my excitement.
A week ago my readings were in the tens.
A week before that who knows. I was not even testing then.
I enter my "score" on the app I now use to record my glucose readings and take pleasure in seeing the relevant graph show a steady satisfying green line of healthy scores. The reds and oranges I started off with last week hopefully behind me now.
I get up, dress, grab my phone, (once again regretting not bringing a proper camera along) and head for the sea
