Yes, just one WILL hurt! If you are type 2, and not on insulin, then its less unlikely to be low blood sugar. Metformin can bring your blood sugar down, but its not as likely to cause a really low reading on its own. If you haven't tested though,...

You should see a doc asap b4 you end up being taken there in the back of an ambulance. I also think that you should stay away from the Frosties until you know what is going on and have better control.

Dobby, You need to get some medical help asap. The symptoms you describe could be a low BG or something more not even related to D. If you can get in to see your Dr. within the next day or two, ok, if not go to the clinic. You need to get a handle...

Hey Dobby! Thanks for your comment on my blog last week. I was really encouraged by your words as well :) If I ever make it out to detroit, I'll let you know.

BTW, why don't you add a photo to your profile page? It doesn't have to be YOU: any photo will work, just something so it can give your page a little personality. ;)

Here are instructions for how to do this and other things in the community.

BIG HUG!

Dobby,
It's normal for you to miss her and be sad over her loss. These things are not easy. Vikki is looking at you from wherever she is and watching over you.

I hope we can be a support for you while you go through the grief and the learn to live with void that Vikki left behind.

We love you here and want you to do well.
