You have to laugh….
You do have to laugh… it might just take until the next day, I've realized.
Ki, our resident diabetic, came home from dance hungry. Starving. She commenced eating and shooting insulin, having her own personal Thanksgiving. I had to stand between her and the food finally, and request that she switch to no carb options. I was afraid (with good reason) that the game of matching carbs to insulin would leave her either high or low.
At 11pm she was high. We corrected.
She is adorable when I wake her up at night. Or combative. This night adorable and comedic. When I woke her up at 1:30 am to see how the correction had gone she was apparently still hungry. So, hungry that when I handed her the meter she tried to eat it. Seriously. Eyes drooping, her body swaying she was so asleep, she opened her mouth and bit it.
She pouted when I had to take it away from her and wake her up enough to function.
She was higher still. Poor thing. And so we got to play the wake up game one more time that night.
Studies confirm that your IQ drops significantly when you lose sleep. I am proof. Worse, I think I become less fun.
Now there is a crime.
