As the saying goes, "The graves are full of hindsight."
In twenty years of living with diabetes, I've made an unbelievable number of mistakes — enough to fill a warehouse.
Every one of them became a lesson, provided it didn't kill me first.
One of the biggest lessons, in fact, was learning to be extremely organized and always prepared.
Yes, in that particular case I had already used up my supplies (and during a three-day trip I hadn't thought about bringing a refill), and, rather stupidly, I wasn't carrying glucagon with me.
I've never claimed to be smart — just a survivor of my own stupidity.
