When I'm feeling philosophical about my mishaps, I assure myself it's a learning process, note what worked and what didn't.
My perfectionist self throws a tantrum and wails loudly I'm an idiot, I've ruined the day, my colour coded spreadsheet won't be all pretty green now (my version of being in range) and I wanted to get on with my day, my planned way, NOW and why won't these flipping numbers just behave and do as I tell them! (I'm fabulous at assuming I can coax blood sugars into good behaviour just as I do with my most difficult students - then I remind myself they all take time to get to the point of working out it's easiest just to do as I tell them, when I tell them, as I'm not going to let them off with poor behaviour.)
Mind you, I have just been out and topped up on my hypo supplies which are all items I like enough to want to drink/eat when I need them but which I don't like the taste of when all is well.
