Sorry I haven't written a blog post in a while, I have been so busy with school, my diabetes, exam at school, my birthday and some other things. Anyway I thought I would write a post about how your emotions can effect your levels. Your emotions have a massive affect on your diabetes. When you are feeling worried, stressed or excited about something this can make you levels high. I find that if I have fallen out with my friend, had a disagreement with someone, had a test at school or gone to a concert, this causes my levels to be high.
On Sunday 8th December I went to the Jingle Bell Ball, which is a concert that is held every year in December by Capital fm at the O2 Arena. This year the Jingle Bell Ball was sponsored by Coca Cola. The line up of singers on Sunday were amazing I was so excited.
The line up
Lady Gaga
Dizzee Rascal
Rudimental
Jessie J
The Vamps
John Newman
Lawson
Little Mix
Jason Derulo
Before I left the house to drive to the O2 my levels were 20+ because I was so excited. It was the first time I was going somewhere that far away without my mum because I was going with a friend and her parents. The only reason my mum was letting me go without her is because I can now change my own line, carb count on my own and look after myself. I was so excited and my emotions were playing a big part in why my levels were so high.
Every time I tested my levels when we were out they were 15+ because I was so excited. I kept giving myself corrections, after I gave the correction and tested my levels again two hours later, my levels sometimes went down or they stayed the same.
When we were driving home I was so tired because it was really late and I had had a really busy day. My friend made sure I checked my levels as I hadn't eaten anything in ages and it was getting late. When my friend asked me to check my levels I couldn't seem to be able to prick my finger because I was so tired I kept missing my finger. My friend ended up pricking my finger for me, I thought it would hurt when she pricked my finger because she had never done it to me before but it didn't hurt at all. My levels were still running a bit high so I put another correction into my pump.
My friend pushed the car seats in the back of the car back so that we could lay down and talk because it was more comfortable. It was so funny because I started to fall asleep while she was talking to me so she shinned a touch in my eyes to wake me up. So I put the hood of my jumper over my head and fell asleep again. While I was asleep my friend took pics of me.
Over all the day was amazing and I will never forget it. I saw some of my fave singer and I was able to keep my levels under control. So if you ever go out on days out or you know you are going to be excited about something all you need to do is check your levels more and give yourself corrections or you could put a temp basal on your pump. Your diabetes doesn't have to stop you from having fun and enjoying yourself
