One of the problems with having diabetes is having to PEE all the
time. Regular as clockwork, about every four hours I have to get up
from whatever I'm doing to head down to the bathroom. That includes
the middle of the night as well.
Tonight however, it was only THREE hours after going to bed that I
woke up; and not because of the usual reason. My mouth had this truly
frantic want, no NEED to have a sip of 7-UP. For some reason nothing
else would do; not Coke, apple-juice, OJ, water, milk, or any other
drink I have around the house. The call of that can of soda was
irresistible.
So ... I got out of bed; intending to head downstairs where I had a
couple of cans left. Only, of course, I couldn't make it past the
bathroom until I ... uh ... "lost some weight".
After washing my hands, I bent over the sink to rinse my mouth out
with cold water before going for the 7-UP ... and lost it right there;
barfing in the sink uncontrollably.
Like I said in the header: Ick.
Afterwards I did rinse my mouth out at the sink; had a few sips of
water; and felt a lot better. In fact, I no longer felt the
incredible NEED for the 7-UP; though I did go downstairs, open up a
can, pour about 1/4 of it into a cup, and chugged that down. Went
down GOOD.
Now I can't sleep.
I'm thinking that getting up in the middle of the night and swigging
down sugar-filled pop isn't the best treatment for diabetes; but you
do what your body insists on.
I guess I'll go read a while.
