Dan,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can only imagine your range of emotions . You have really given a voice to how we can deal with this in the best way. I have had diabetes for fifty years, and am fifty five. My share of lows could fill a room. Not knowing that your low is one of the worst parts of this disease. For me, it really was not until I was pregnant with my first child twenty years ago, that I was instilled with testing every single time before I get behind the wheel. My endo told me to, but I think he also told me some horror stories to drive home the point. Your story is something I identify with. I have been unbelievably lucky in the driving department.
The one time I woke up with EMT’s staring at me, thank god, I was in bed, with a bg of 27, right after I had given birth, and the hormones wreak havoc as they change and interact with insulin. The most terrifying feeling in the world to be woken with them in your face. I can only imagine what you felt as to the rest of the event.
