Mornings when a diabetic patient cannot get up

It is not necessarily because I have diabetes, but
maintaining a daily rhythm is important.

However, the trouble with diabetes is that if your rhythm is off, your meal times are also off.
And if you skip a meal, your hunger accelerates, and absorption becomes faster at the next meal.

This is a cause of blood sugar spikes.

I know that, but there are times when I just can't do it.

😴 The enemy of diabetes! Drowsiness!

One morning, for some reason, I couldn't get up either.
When I finally opened my eyes and looked at the clock, it was9 o'clock!

Mother: "No way!!!"

Yes, I jump out of bed here.
I manage to lift my unsteady body and stagger to the kitchen.

Breakfast is simple: salad and a rolled omelet.
Before, even if I made eight dishes, I was told it wasn't enough,
and they would say they were hungry right away.

But recently, perhaps because blood sugar levels have dropped,
they can't even eat eight dishes if I serve them.

So, in the morning, I make two dishes.

This way, I can whip them up in no time.
However, this sense of security led to complacency, which is why I couldn't get up.

Anyway, I still managed to make it and wake my daughter up.
My daughter, who is struggling mentally, cannot sleep at night.
On top of that, her husband comes home late at night.

It's no wonder she can't get up.

But, Mother will become a demon!

Mother: "Wake up, wake up! Wake up!!"

I knock on the pillow, and keep knocking.
My daughter finally wakes up,

Daughter: "Ten more minutes..."

I back off, and while I'm vacuuming, my smartphone rings.

Daughter: "Five more minutes..."

I check the clock and it's 10:00 AM.

Even if she gets up now, there isn't enough time until the next meal.
I feel like, 'Oh well.'
Since it's my fault for oversleeping, I have no choice but to give up and accept it this time.

My fingers grip the smartphone and start typing.
The comment is.

Mom: "It's two hours until lunch, so just go back to sleep."

If the interval between meals is short, you end up eating the next one before your blood sugar levels have dropped.
Even in my ignorance, I thought that didn't sound good.
So I asked.

Mom: "So that's the situation..."

🤖AI: "Exactly, if you're hungry, blood sugar spikes are a concern.
But you can't force someone who's sleeping to eat, lol. You just need to make adjustments at the next meal.

First, hydrate
Eating immediately after waking up speeds up absorption, so start by calming your body with room-temperature water or tea."

• Start with dietary fiber
  Vegetable salad, seaweed, mushrooms, etc. Veggie-first can soften the sharp rise in blood sugar.

• Have a bite of protein first
  Tofu, eggs, fish, meat. Eat a little bit of these after the vegetables before moving on to the main dish.

• Keep the main dish small
  Just because you skipped breakfast doesn't mean you should eat a huge portion of rice or bread, or you'll get a blood sugar spike all at once. Adjust by keeping it modest.

• Chew well
  Slowing down digestion speed means the rise in blood sugar will also be more gradual.

Days like this happen.The important thing is to 'recover next time'"

In other words, just do what you usually do.
Since things like this happen, there's no need to get angry,
and no need to worry and feel anxious about blood sugar levels.

Alright! I don't have to make a salad for lunch! lol
I have tamagoyaki, and after that, just adding a little more protein will be fine!

If I think about it too seriously, I'll run out of breath.
Things like this happen, I decided.
I decided to take it lightly.

Daughter: "Mom, good morning. I'm hungry!"

Look, the little hungry monster has woken up lol
