My Job Update
Well, here it is Thursday and about an hr. and a half until I have to go to work for the evening. I will probably work 4-11:30 like last night.
Tuesday I started dropping Low, and had to have my husband get me something to eat once he got off work. I was starting to feel the signs… even with eating Cheetos etc. while working. And I was over 250 when I took 15 units of Insulin and ate lunch. I worked 11-7 that day. So it is going to be a learning game I see now that I am working.
I do try and carry something sweet in my pocket, and other food to munch on while I am working just in case I get busy with Customers. But I do have time usually to sit and get a bite to eat when I need too, as I have someone working with me most of my shift.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Well, I have been working Full Time a week and a half now. I have actually worked 9 out of the 10 days, but since 1 day was Orientation this was an easy day. I actually, on average, am only working 7 hrs. a day usually, so it is only a couple of hrs. OT a week., and so far I am handling it no problem.
Some days, I am a little Sore at the end of the day, but this is to be expected… and since I have a touch of Arthritis going on, it is worse before it rains. And Yes, here in Seattle, in the Summer, we still get rain.
As for my BG… I have been trying to do better, as I had one day where I really Spiked over 300, but I did splurge and ate something I learned is high is Sugars and Carbs, so I stay away from it since I learned it spiked me so bad. I am usually staying in a Good range, and only 2 times have started feeling the Lows while at work, I have had them happen twice right about the time I get home from work and relax though.
So it is still a learning process for me… but I am Glad I am working. Friday, I will get my first paycheck… It will be for last week.. which was 43 hrs. Then my reg. paychecks, are every 2 weeks.
