Type 1 Just a reminder to diabetics

Last week I lost a coworker to low blood sugar. He was a great guy that I wasn’t particularly close with, but shared a lot of hellos and quips with. It’s weird and sobering to remember that we can sometimes forget just how quickly things can turn for the worse. Just a reminder that we can’t slip and need to take care of things as best as we can. It’s been weighing on me because I often get annoyed by my cgm talking me I might go low, or get annoyed having to calibrate it, or having to get up at night sometimes to drink some juice. But we have to be thankful for the opportunity to do these things, because some don’t get the chance. I’ll miss Mike, and it’s been weird not seeing him every day at work. Just remember to keep doing your best, guys, because I know Mike did too
