Diabetics will never have clean sheets.
I must have had a gusher during the middle of the night. I routinely wake up and check my bg in the middle of the night without turning on the lights. Sometimes I do almost all of it with my eyes closed, only peeking to see what the number is.
This morning I woke up with finger poke -sized blood stains and smears all over the place, like under my pillow. Then when I checked my bg on my PDM, I saw that the buttons were all bloodied up, too. Yep, must have had a gusher last night and didn't even know it.
Every set of sheets I own have finger poke blood stains on it. It's inevitable. I was mad because I had just bought a new, expensive set of sheets from Bed, Bath & Beyond and within a couple days had new stains on it. I guess that's just part of Big D, never having clean sheets.

Have you heard of Zout? It's good for stains!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the title of this post I laughed. When I re-did my room I bought a mostly white duvet cover knowing it was a stupid idea. Every time I put new sheets on my bed it's only a matter of time before I wake up in the morning and see blood stains. it's really annoying.
ReplyDeleteI not only get my sheets (and blankets), I get the woodwork and doors in the house, which are, of course, white! I'd like to wave a luminol light around here sometime and see what it looks like!
