I was doing so good

I have been incredibly careful and dare I say responsible with my eating and testing. I weigh foods to the gram and keep my numbers in a beautiful Google spreadsheet. My numbers have been in range (Minus 3 over ratings) for over a month.

Tonight I go to test after dinner and it's like my diabetes stuff disappeared into a black hole. I have no idea where I left my bag that holds the meter, test strips and lancets. I'm unmedicated for my ADHD and I've been struggling in general, but this is where I was actually doing good. It was my something to be proud of for myself and now it's gone. I had my husband and 2.5 yr old helping look and it's vanished. I don't know if I'll be able to have insurance cover a replacement or if I just need to hurry up and pay out of pocket.

Luckily my parents had a spare old tester they loaned me but it only has a couple strips left and the lancet thing is broken so I had to just essentially poke myself with the needle by hand which hurt way more.
Sigh, what a way to end Mother's day.
