Do you feel guilty when you get a "bad" blood sugar reading? I know sometimes I do. It makes you think you have done something wrong, like eat something you shouldn't have or not exercised as much as you are supposed to. But according to Diabetes Daily, we shouldn't feel guilty. Blood sugar readings are information to help you make a decision about what to do next. They help you uncover patterns. High and low blood sugar readings aren't mistakes that we are making. Think of them as results in your ongoing diabetes experiment. Maybe that approach will make us all feel better. It's all in our attitude and how we choose to look at it.
I'm going to end this post with a quote, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." ~ William James, 1842-1910, US pragmatist, philosopher and psychologist
