Historically, the virtue of patience has been popularly represented in the figure of Job, a biblical saint specially equipped with this convenient faculty.
Apparently, the Job - according to the Bible - underwent a series of tasks by an angel of God leaving all of them, thus demonstrating his faithfulness to the Creator.Fidelity ... and endures, which has deserved to become a paradigm of patience and becoming part of the popular sayings: "You have more patience than the Holy Job."
Patience is undoubtedly a great virtue that we all wanted for us.I personally recognize that in the distribution of this gift to me it must have to catch me in the service.Or distracted, as usual in me.The fact is that it is a great quality necessary to deal with all the adversities that arise in this life.And adversities can be of all kinds.In diabetes too.
God submitted Job to all kinds of evidence to measure his faithfulness.Diabetes also submits us to tests every day to measure our patience.
patience in the X files
It may not be necessary to have as much patience as Job, but at least try to imitate him as much as possible.Without a doubt, with the diabetes debut, a significant increase in the level of patience should come.Because it is highly necessary.
Since I have it 31 years ago (diabetes, not patience; I have never had it) I am clear that Job's famous patience is overrated.I would like to see him with diabetes.
I am convinced that he would lose his fame in less than a year.Because this disease tests one of the greatest human virtues, it is generally scarce and even more in these times that run, accelerated and uncompromising.
And it is that there is no patience that is worth when after applying all your preparation and your knowledge, you discover that they do not serve you at all before many of the burns that diabetes poses to each moment.Or more than ardes, perhaps better call them files x, in a clear euphemism to avoid calling them by their authentic name, quite badly.
Every day you have the same breakfast, your morning routine is the same, you feel at your work and do exactly the same.Well, one day, your figures are horrible.
For some desperate reason, the post of that breakfast (equal to that of the previous days) is frightening.Another day you have an important meeting and precisely there you would not mind being a little higher to spend the quiet meeting without additional worries.Well no.
That day you will be low throughout the morning and you will also have to leave in the middle of the meeting to go to the soft drink machine for a Coca Cola.Idem idem for example, a movie day.Or simply, that day you want it to be perfect and nothing clouds you.
But there she is to remind you that it exists.And test your patience once again.One more day.And then another.And another ... and your knowledge of nothing serves to avoid all these situations in which you can only pull a faculty: patience.
over the years only wines are improved
Although I had very hopeful in it, over the years neither my patience nor my temperance have increased in the least.Forget it.
Over the years only the big wines improve.I must even recognize - although I know that this is not exemplary - that my patience looks broken as the first day every time she torpedo something.That is, it is very difficult for me to maintain temperance to the continuous teasing of my diabetes.
And it is that one of the most frequent situations and that most alter my mental control Jedi is that of the absence of patterns already commented on lines.That ten days do the same and that the ten are different is something thatHe would surely get Job himself out of what would resurrect tomorrow.
When a good day after your perfect HC calculations (which you already have under control and learned to be left over) you see that post-prondial blood glucose is frightening, you can only do one thing: breathe deeply, count to ten (I recommend better or even a thousand) and try to fix the mess based on applying the knowledge acquired.And in those moments your character is avinograd and notes that the blood begins to boil, in a similar way to when Dr. Bruce Banner begins to become Hulk.
And you go because you simply, you have done everything you should do.You haven't failed anything, but things don't go well.Moreover, they leave fatal.
And this is probably one of the most frustrating things (if not the one that most) of this disease.Because we only control ... I correct: we monitor ... one of the many variables that influence this pantagao;glucoseBut we don't know how our glycogen body, cortisol, adrenaline ...
We do not know how the action of that previously administered insulin and its pharmacokinetics is being ... We do not know if the stomach is with a slower digestion than usual ... neither if the fats are excessively slowing down the absorption of nutrients by the body ...
In short, a multitude of unknown data that influence every moment that blood glucose is one or the other.And we, who only guide ourselves for the figure that marks a speech, we trust in noise that our 1+1 will always add 2 because they taught us in the school, without knowing that in that formulation there are many unknowns that we do not know between.
In many American comedies we have seen the protagonist how he hides at a given time when he wants to release his anger contained in a frustrating situation and that he could not solve.
This in diabetes is usual and each one reacts in a different way, but the most common goes through anger and frustration.I, that I am a Jedi, I recognize that I have moments on the dark side in these situations.
And I have tried to reflect in a Audovisual way the feeling that comes to us when you face one of the situations that generate the most angry: to be high despite having done things well.This would be the usual feeling in these situations ...
Does the same thing happen to you in these situations?Has your patience improved with the years of diabetes?Have you learned to relativize?Have you needed yoga or any other technique to learn to dominate the frustration of these situations?
Have you ever done something you don't feel proud of at any time of this type of anger?
Tell me in a comment if you live these moments just like me.And share the entrance if it has been entertaining.
