I'm back!

I wrote my last post about two months ago. Actually, for the last two months I have actually disappeared from any possible social network, from Facebook (who cares) to Diabetessupport (I miss it so much), using Twitter every so often but less and less. Well, this wasn't planned, but it just happened. A 190miles move down south from Manchester to Cambridge and a new (should I say first?) job immediately after my PhD have actually managed to kill me. I feel I am only starting to recover, but then, I have my thesis viva next week, so at the moment I am re-reading my thesis in the evenings. As if I could really focus.

I literally love my new job, it's what I have always wanted, working on something important and challenging (but that's for another blog post). On the downside, it's not in Cambridge, and I spend about two hours a day travelling. Plus, if at the start I thought I could simply work 9-5, well then I was very much mistaken, as I have already spent very many nights trying to finish the tasks I've been assigned. Somehow I hadn't foreseen that moving to a different research field would have been so hard...

And in the meantime, my D-me behaved so nicely, telling me in a nice way that it was time to start exercising again by spiking after lunch time. Which wasn't too bad, considered I over indulged, especially in August. Now it seems things are back on track, with me fighting against my hypos and my unsteady BG levels that strangely tend to be on the low side during the day, except after lunch, where they always fluctuate around 10s.

One of the best things I've done was to buy an iphone. Not for the stupid apps that -of course- I have installed, but for the most useful thing in the world: a diabetes diary. I have already mentioned I am so bad at keeping a diary, especially because the ones I have are so tiny you can't write a thing. No, I am really happy with this Diabetes diary. I am finally managing to write down my insulin, food, and BG levels. I also bought an app for blogging, hoping that this blog becomes more of a routine for me. Fingers crossed!
