I hear many people say they don’t check their blood sugars because they don’t want to feel bad if the number isn’t where they want it.  That is a dangerous mindset, but understandable because it is based in fear.  Fear can happen when we don’t feel we have control over a situation.  Ironically, checking your blood sugar gives you the information to be in control.  If you know your level you are empowered to give yourself a “high five” when the number is in range or take a corrective action if it isn’t where you want it to be.  But choosing to ignore it, leaves you uninformed and ignorant about what is happening in your own body.
