I've noticed a remarkable similarity between my blood sugar level and my bank balance. If I go for too long without checking either of them I tend to get an unpleasant surprise when I do!
Last week I was away for a few days and managed to leave my meter at home on the kitchen table (OK, it was an early morning flight - that's my excuse) and when I checked my levels again when I was back home my fasting level was higher than it normally is, probably because I "sinned" a bit when I was out of the watchful eye of the FreeStyle Lite. Likewise, losing track of my bank balance for a week or so always seems to encourage me to spend more money than I should.
There is one important difference, though - in the first case the numbers go up, and in the second case... (hardly need to finish that sentence, do I?)
