Okay so I found out I was diabetic last year and for the most part I've done pretty well at managing it, and getting my numbers down. However I've always felt very..... lathargic, especially in the mornings.

The fact that I'm awake at 4:30 am for work, and haven't slept a solid night sleep in 16 months (baby) doesn't help, but yeah...always tired.

Until yesterday when I had some sugar free chewing gum at work. The difference was night and day. I'm usually yawning every 3-4 minutes, but with the gum I felt almost reborn.

So I guess I'm wondering....wtf?
