Do you ever have days when you care too much about your diabetes, yet nothing seems to go your way? Do you ever have days when you care too much about your diabetes, and all that hard work pays off?

Do you ever have days when you don’t care about your diabetes, and your blood glucose numbers perfectly complement your apathy with wildly out-of-range readings? Do you ever have days when you don’t care about your diabetes, and everything goes swimmingly?

Do you ever have a day when you experience all four of those mindsets, and struggle to find balance – to find normal?

This being my first time travelling with an insulin pump on my hip, I’m trying to manage my expectations but I have a feeling I’ll be experiencing lots of mood, and blood glucose swings while I hop around timezones for a few days.
