Supplement this
In addition to the pills I take to help control my blood sugar and blood pressure, I also swallow a packet of supplements designed specifically for diabetics. Each packet contains different pills like a multivitamin, alpha lipoic acid, selenium and more.
You might think it's bunk, but I really do feel better when I take them. I admit that's probably completely psychosomatic, but I don't really care. I went over the list of included ingredients with my doctor, and she agreed that many of them have shown to have benefits for diabetics, and that's good too.
But for some reason, the pills in these packets set off my gag reflex something harsh. This morning was no different. I was in front of the sink in my hotel room's bathroom with a glass of tap water in hand, and I tore open the packet, palmed the pills in my mouth and tried to gulp them down with the water. Didn't work. They got stuck in my throat as it tried to reject them. I swallowed a second time and they went down, but some of the water went up my nose -- the wrong way, through the back of my throat.
So here I am, eyes half-blinded with tears, long strings of tap water and snot shooting out my nose.
Wow, I feel GREAT with all these supplements in me.
