A better 2 days away I've had............................

So my hubby and I decide to take afew days away right??? The 1st night my pump becomes detached from me. I wake up at 3 in the morning with a 511 bs. So I think I got it together and the next night I fall to a 21 and my hubby was gone so it was all up to me to do this right??? My vision was so blured and well I was sweating beyond beleive and life just wasn't going my way ok???? I slowly make it over to the frige in our room and get the gluagon kit (now that was an adventure in itself) anyway I got it out and decided to try and give my ownself a shot of it (another adventure) I finally get a shot of it (after many minutes of trying) then of coures my hubby comes in asking what I had ate. Eating REALLY??? All I could think about was the gluagon shot. Long story short was the worst few days away I had Lets not talk about how high I got after the shot! LOL!

OMG Gerri the wife nad I are in tears...that is hilarious. I can just see you yelling "where the hell is the dial tone!"

Only a diabetic or someone close to a diabetic can see the great humor in that one.

We have a friend who used to work fo the city of Philadelphia. He had two diabetic co-workers who, for some untold reason, he put on a crew together. They were in the city one day and BOTH dropped low. When they both "came to" there were peanut M&M's and skittles all over the inside of that truck. Fortuantely they never hit anyone or anything and both lived to tell about it.

My husband has given himmself a glucogon shot once, and his mind was fuzzy and probably doesn't remember it much. My hands shake because I am panicky when I am doing that. Every low that is like that when you or your loved one is needing a shot is an adventure. I always felt like I failed if I couldn't get him to eat something (because he sometimes would smirk at me and refuse, and other times he got angry) and had to give him a gluc shot. Sometimes I knew he was too low to safely eat because I thought he could choke and had to give it to him. You did great Dori in spite of the difficulty! Proud of you! And Gerri, we are still laughing here about you trying to use the tv remote to make a call. I think stuff like this should be written in on one of the sit com shows. It be a way to educate people about diabetes for sure

Just telling on myself here....................... Debb lives in New York state right???? I called her one day and after about 2 minutes of talking to her she told me to check my bs and call her back. I was in the lower 20's at that time and she caught it from the way I talked to her. LOL!
