anybody else ever think "oh I'm the kind of stressed where I should distract myself and make something, like a stuffed animal" and then it turns out no, your blood sugar was just low? I've got a new record low (but technically still not hypoglycemia) blood sugar and a three and a half foot long worm plushie (it only occurred to me to check my blood sugar after I was done making the worm, I'm fine now but ugh)

#the person behind the yarn #pro tip: sewing a worm will not improve your blood sugar #in case you were curious. not an efffective method!#I do have another worm now though so that's cool #and I just ate dinner and drank like half a soda so I am feeling better #but oh my GOSH I do no tunderstand why I can't keep my dang blood sugar up!#I snack ALL THE DANG TIME #I eat smaller meals more frequently I have protein and complex carbs #also plenty of salt and sugar but noooo #real answer is probably the addisons disease I probably have reacting not great to stress #because work stress is piling up and it's election time and ahhhhhh #maybe I'll go make another worm about it #(I do have an appointment with my endocrinologist in two weeks and I WILL be talking to him about this)#(I was going to talk to him about going off of my long term steroids but uh. not happening with the low blood sugar)
