Something I shouldn't have done....hmmm....well, the big one is when I go low without realizing it, and become, hmmmm.. how to be describe it......oh yah, I know, "The Incredibley Insane and Unreasonable Cranky Woman"! Honestly, my other half is a complete saint. A mere mortal would be looking for bandages the new opening I've ripped them. Sweetie knows that it's totally outside my normal personality, recognizes the symptoms and has a good laugh about it while passing the candy or juice.

Taking a nap wasn;t the brightest idea I'd ever had...

The fact it was a hot summer day,
at a STOP LIGHT

and I was the driver
of the first vehicle at said stoplight


Not the brightest idea that I've ever had...

Consumed entire box of samosa, I did it because I was low and sleeping, eating while half asleep is dangerous! Lol

Lol, riding a motorcycle when your low just plain doesn't work.
Being high doesn't help much either for that matter...

Well usually I am all about keeping myself normal range but apperently the other day I was way off I love to bike ride heat snow ice rain it does not matter I am all for it. anyways In West Ga near atl we have the silver comet trail and I go riding on it ( they have cops who patrol it for safety reasons ) I was riding and enjoying the like 96 degree weather and was about 12 miles from my car so I was like ohh I will wait and check when I get to the car!! Not such a bright idea. about 7 miles out I start riding like a drunk person and I sure as heck didn't even know it but the people I almost ran over or watched me hit the ground did and called the cops the cop shows up behind me on the 4 wheeler and well kind of pulls me over ( I know most cops in this area but this one I did not he was a newbie ) well He asked questions while I tried to put together enough words to make a sentence and finally his buddy shows up just as I decided to sit down smack dad in the center of the trail and he was like hey C " whats up david ? " him : " C check your sugar! " me " mo I am going to do it when I get to the car " him" where is your car? " me " ummm It is ummm the way I was going " him " C just check it " ( all this why he has EMS on the way ) I checked it and it read 22 mg/dl he flipped a lid I was like see I am fine it says 77mg/dl ( note to self when low test with meter upside right ) EMS gets there my partner none the less and I down a coke and some of jay's candy stash and then I am good to go but lessoned learned non the less this is why all the cops know to look for diabetics first I taught them that lol well except that newbie but I am sure he knows now lol needless to say I am fine but apperently was heading in the wrong direction and almost decided to take the hill ( not part of the trail )

I road my bike (motorcycle) with a low.

First of all let me say that I ALWAYS test before I ride and all along the ride, too.

My husband and I road our bikes on the back roads to Lowes. Once we got there, I tested and I was a little low so, I ate some glucose tablets. I didn't wait for the low to go up (Bad decision) I told my husband that I was ok and we could ride. He wanted to wait a while but, I didn't. We then, jumped on the Interstate to ride to the Harley Dealership. I tested again and I was still low. Later that day, I told my husband to never let me ride when I'm low again. I told him that I don't think straight or make good decisions when I'm low and I would have NEVER gotten on that bike if I was low. He got very upset with me because he said he took my word that I was ok. Now, he actually LOOKS at my meter to make sure I'm at a save level. LOL

Yes, I did have a helmet on. Not sure it would have helped much on the Interstate if I would have passed out though!!! Road Kill for sure!!! LOL

Having sex when low, um, doesn't work!

This confused the hell out of me when I was far younger than today. Is that adrenaline surge a hypo or just being excited? At least today, as opposed to 20 years ago, I wasn't afraid to pull out a bg meter and check.

The most brilliant thing I did was to ride a bike to the nearest store for some real coke. Not smart. I hadn't had anything to drink or eat since lunch it was about 4:00....and I thought I could make it. I made it as far as my dog groomer's about 3 blocks, in an 8 block trek. The only thing she had that had sugar in it was some doggy ice cream, not tasty, but it did the trick.

It was then that I learned to carry tablets in my sidepack and a juice drink...just in case.
