When, after a day struggling to get under 200 all day long and finally getting there before bed, you get really low over night and the first thing you do, after snarfing some glucose tablets, is log on to Tudiabetes to see what's going on at 2:30 in the morning.

When someone at church gives you the evil eye for eating something during mass.(mind you I was discreet...not as if I was feasting on a sandwich, or anything of the sort!)

I really had to laugh at both of these last things. I have done that over and over Jonathan and could see me as i was reading your post And Linda I did that at a funeral a few months ago. I was being very quiet but the standing and sitting during mass with the sweating and shaking was getting more than I could do. I took out a pice of hard candy from a lifesavers roll and heard the woman to the left, in front of me say to her husband, "look at her, you would think it wouldn't hurt her to wait a few minutes".

I don't know Debb, There were probably people wanting to whack me on the head. I was being so irreverent I was having a hard time not laughing. On the way out her husband was standing beside the casket waiting to help carry it out and popping a breath mint, I was wondering if it made any difference to the friend in the casket if he had bad breath right then.

One of the Catholic churches where I cantor has a box of lemon-lime liquid glucose shots in the ushers' cabinet. One of the ushers invited me to partake whenever necessary. :) Apparently, I'm not the only PWD in the house.

Adding to Linda, Debb's and Saundra's about Church: Sitting in Temple during Yom Kippur services and trying to sneak a few glucose tablets when everyone around you is in the middle of a 24 hour fast, with all of the "holier than thous" "tsk-tsking" under their breaths.

I remember telling my pastor about the need to boost up my BG at times during mass and asking if I still could have communion....and he replied in his boisterous charismatic way..."don't worry yourself about that, march down the aisle and have communion with everyone else" ....if only others were not so quick to judge. And these "finger pointing " people would be the first to call themselves worthy!
