I haven’t talked about how sports affects my diabetes lately because the Eagles have been playing well lately and I have not had too many worrisome times with them. Same with Virginia Tech. There has been close games, but I have had full confidence so far this year. Today brings a match up between the Eagles and the Giants, division rivals. Also, rivalries with a lot of people that I know and I will not hear the end of this until next year if the Eagles get beat. I have no doubt that they will win tonight, but it gives me that little added stress.
When I am watching an Eagles game, my heart starts to beat very fast and I haven’t really checked my blood pressure during the games, but I have a few years ago and there was a huge difference in my blood pressure between a blow out game and a tight game. My blood sugars vary depending on where I am watching the game. Since I live in south Florida now, the Eagles games are not on tv a lot, so I have to go to a sports bar to watch the game. When I go to a sports bar, I do not take my meter in with me, and I kinda guess what my blood sugar is going to be.
If I am watching the game at home, like I am tonight, then I will test my sugar like I normally would so they are a little more under control. But I do have a problem testing my sugar at home as opposed to how often I test it at work, but that’s a whole other story for a whole other time.
Well, today is Sunday so that means time for laundry and cleaning up around the house and relaxing with football. So have a great day everyone.
