When u exercise a bit too much :)

When you do 2 hours of ice skating.. the feeling is satisfaction first :) but just before you go to sleep, sudden realization hits you - hope this exercise combined with insulin won’t kill me in my sleep. No one can understand this feeling except poor type one diabetics!! :)
