Happy Monday to everybody. I went camping this weekend and had a pretty fun time. I didn’t get to catch as many fish that I would have liked to, but I at least made it out onto a boat and went on a nice nature viewing ride through the Loxahatchee River in Florida. We went to this place called Trapper Nelson’s, which is a very interesting story and place and I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. Other than that, there were the normal diabetes precautions to take while camping.
I made sure that I packed enough supplies for the trip. Normally, I go through a few infusion sets because it is hot and you are outside the entire time, so you sweat a lot. Fortunately, this trip was the complete opposite, it was pretty damn cold, especially during the night. My blood sugars were pretty good throughout the whole camping trip. A few highs here and there, but they were all fixed quickly. The worst part is having a high blood sugar while camping, especially at night. If it is too high, and you start to pee frequently, you have to try and get in and out of the tent several times during the night without waking up the others in the tent with the loud ass zipper noise.
Out of the times that I have camped since I’ve been diabetic, I think that diabetes is a fire side topic every time. I enjoy that because it gives me an opportunity to educate people on the subject of diabetes.
Well, it is the start to another very long week. The Eagles lost in the play-offs so I’m disappointed about that, however, busy work schedule, and Amanda and I just signed a new lease for a new place, and so it will be time to start packing everything up and moving again.
Have a great day.
