Lea commented on Lea's blog post 'Low Blood Sugar Snach Attack!'"Yeah I feel like we all have the same experience but my problem is just the feeling of being low your fingers shakin sweeting and everything is terrible! My diabetic dr said to just give my body some insulin so that i don't wake up hyper BG!"

acidrock23 commented on Lea's blog post 'New on here!'"I find that I feel good when I'm doing everything I can to kick diabetes' butt. It's hard and challenging but I am always wanting to know what my BG is so it won't get in the way of any of my hobbies/ interests/ other pursuits."
