I had a horrible day. OK at 7 am and totally, sweaty all over low at 8am. Phone on the other side of the house, legs that would not support me, so afraid to walk and groggy as you know what. And I hate to admit it, no ready source of carbs. I so sufferred. If I had my phone, I would have called 911, seriously. Have not had a low like this in YEARS.
And, it is my fault. I have been doing so well that I forgot the basic premise of be prepared. After mu body started to work again, I had a mjor liver dump and peaked at 297. Had a real carb load (Chinese) for dinner because I needed it. See how it goes, but I really do not care as long as my glucose level stays OK.
Today as a diabetic sucked big time. Sometimes it so devastates me.
Sorry you had such a scary low. I'm glad it's an infrequent event. I don't think it's your fault at all, but I will try to heed your advice to always be prepared for lows, even when BG seems to be running smoothly. Hope the Chinese food provided some comfort and that the rest of your evening is relaxing- you really deserve it.
I agree with what Rennie said, Spock. Don't beat up on yourself; the experience was bad enough without adding self blame! As far as having treatment for lows nearby,just use this experience as a motivator to recommit to being prepared. I can only imagine as long as you've been diagnosed that you must go through waxing and waning of your vigilance and that seems normal (within reason of course!)
Take care of yourself and enjoy Fall and the good things in your days. I'm glad you're ok.
