It's sometimes strange for me. I create jewelry designes. The other day I was really into creating something where is took alot of focus and concentration. Two hours after I had my dinner I checked my blood sugar. I always check it 2 hours after I eat. I was shocked when I saw a 55 on my meter because I felt perfectly fine. I wanted to finish what I was doing but decide to drink juice.

hypoglycemia is the story of my life!! but much better controlled now that i have an insulin pump. I have a lot of great stories, i mainly find most of them funny, even if in reality, they're not... but since i'm still alive to tell the tales, might as well share!

My first and worst low to date what soon after I got diagnosed, so I was like 12? I was watching TV for an extended period of time, and I think when you're focused on something, it's a lot harder to feel your blood sugar dropping, so at the end of a movie, i got up, and everything got all white/hazy and i was like oh no... My mom helped me test and i was 25!! That's my record low to date. Something to take away from this is you need to really be aware of your sugar even if you're distracted for an extended period of time, and i fyou're a parent with a diabetic child, watch them when they're being TV or video game zombies!!

Hypoglys can be very frightening! My husband has type 1, and most of the time he will sense that he is getting on the low side. However, if he lies down to rest or nap, his BS can drop and get drastically low without his knowledge. I keep a tight rein on him with testing and observing, as we are both retired.

My husband's eyesight gets fuzzy when it first begins to set in. Sometimes he has a change in personality, becoming very quiet. It's amazing how quickly things turn around once a little sugar is ingested.

I advise all Type 1s to have on hand emergency Glucagon. About once or twice a year I have to use it on him. Please don't get caught without it, especially if you are traveling or away from home.
