How to tell if your blood sugar is too low:

1.  You start to feel like you've had a couple Cosmopolitans...but you're in an exercise class.

2.  Clear sight is becoming a literal impossibility, even though you're wearing your glasses.

3.  You wonder where you should be getting some food from, but even though you're at a major shopping center on a main road, you can't remember where a drive-through might be.

4.  You're too afraid to go into Kroger or Target lest you be arrested for public drunkeness, and you're not sure you can say much aside from "ice cream, please."  Walking anywhere seems a bad idea, too.

5.  You have to hold the bill up very close to your nose to be sure you have $1 and not $20.

6.  You fall asleep in the drive-thru lane at McDonald's.

7.  The ice cream cone attacks you and you end up with soft serve in both your mouth and nose.  Hork.

8.  You make sure to take the back way home as you're not 100% sure about your driving skills.

9.  Peanut butter is your bestest friend, so long as you remain conscious enough to swallow it.

10.  Dinner never looked so good.

I think I'd rather be drunk...at least you can bargain your driver's license if you're busted for DUI. 

Imma go to bed...I feel like I've been hit by a Mack Truck.

Oh no... I remember those days. You! Put some M&Ms in your purse!! Or glucose tabs! But those things taste nasty, so go for the M&Ms or something similar that won't easily melt.

Been there, done that, unfortunately. Fortunately, the last time my blood sugar was that low, I was in a hotel room and had only overestimated the number of carbs I was going to eat at dinner so that by the time my insulin processed itself, my blood sugar was 36.

I carry those glucose tablets everywhere with me in my bag. You can get tubes of 10 (you take four at a time) and they're sturdy. Other than that, my endocrinologist recommended cake icing for a quick fix :)

I feel like an idiot that I didn't know you were diabetic. I'm sure you've told me this before and I probably did know it, but I was all huh? at your post :( I'm a moron. But I do love you and hope you're better today ♥
