The terms "waiting it out" in addition to “waiting out” refers to all types of things when it comes to living alongside diabetes.
Sometimes nosotros receive got to wait out a depression blood carbohydrate xv grams of carbs at at time.

And piece we’re waiting nosotros endeavor our best to calm ourselves downwards & proceed it together - in addition to non simply for ourselves, but equally good for the people nosotros love.
Other times a high blood carbohydrate forces us to wait it out for hours in addition to it tin terminate look similar forever. And sometimes no affair how much nosotros correction bolus ( or rage bolus,) our blood sugars simply won't come upwards down. And no affair how many tears of frustration nosotros shed or how loud nosotros curse, nosotros nonetheless receive got to await for what has gone upwards to run its agency done - And it's frustrating equally hell!
We wait it out inwards doctors offices (checkout the flickr grouping Waiting alongside Diabetes for actual photographic evidence) for hours in addition to hours in addition to hours - And if nosotros could tally all those hours nosotros pass waiting I’m certain it would equal at to the lowest degree a day... possibly fifty-fifty two.
And earlier nosotros genuinely arrive into the doctors office, nosotros wait out the results of our labs in addition to wait it out until nosotros genuinely teach the results in addition to sit down downwards alongside our Endo.

And inwards 2012 nosotros are all nonetheless waiting for a diabetes cure - And I gotta say you lot - it's getting old.
Bottom line: waiting it out when it comes to living alongside diabetes requires us to hold upwards rigid in addition to waiting out requires us to hold upwards song equally hell when it comes to out wellness in addition to a diabetes cure.... And waiting it out requires us to never hand up!
