We got up and before breakfast we went to Home Depot to get the decking we needed for the small bathroom rebuild.  Going Sunday morning at 7:30 and the roads were empty and the store almost was.  It only took us an hour and I was home in time for the Sunday news shows.  Ron made us waffles which I have been wanting for a while.  But my stomach is so small now I could only eat one.  I did have real maple syrup on it as that is what I grew up eating and love.  But as my blood sugar was so low this morning at 82 I did not take any fast acting insulin which I am to do before a meal depending on blood sugar. 

So I was doing my blogging and a small bit of laundry and at 1:45 PM after starting the washer I noticed I was sweating everywhere, arms, head, neck, legs, feet.  I knew that feeling.  I was starting to shake worse than normal for me.   I was getting very confused.  I staggered to my Pink Place to my blood kit.  I was 52.  That is very low but I have been lower.  I have woken up at 40 before.  But this time was different.  I got so confused.  My head was in a fog.  I couldn’t think what to do to.  I struggled to the fridge to get cheese which really wouldn’t have helped but my brain was thinking cheese and crackers.   As I was struggling to stand and get stuff Ron walked by in the other room.  I called out to him and croaked I needed him.  He came up the stairs and yelped, he got me to a chair and asked what was wrong.  Blood sugar I mumbled, he went to the table next to us and got the tube of sugar tablets, putting one in my hand helping me get it to my mouth.  At this point I was losing it, no coordination and no thoughts, just listening and doing.  I put the first one in my mouth but just sort of stopped.  He raised his voice and told me to chew it, chew the tablet.  I did.  Then he gave me another one, then one more.  I started to clear up.  He then demanded I have something, cheese and crackers or flavored Cheese Its.  

He told me I was on the verge of going out and he would have had to call for emergency help.  He is still shaken.  I feel fine but he is worried about what he calls the rebound.  But the thing is now that I am clear headed I understand what happened.  I was in the bedroom where we have two tubes of the glucose tablets one on each side of our bed. But I was so confused I couldn’t think or function.  What is weird about this is I don’t take any other diabetes medications.  I only take insulin and that is because when I have my steroid shots it is only insulin that lowers the blood sugar.  So I did not expect a crash like this.  Anyway, it was scary for me.   I have so much more I want to post but I need to take a break for a while.  Hugs
