A First for Me

[loracs]

Or at least I think it's a first.  I had a very bad hypo, my bg went down to 30.  After an hour, some coke and many glucose tabs, I still was only 56.  More tabs and another 40 minutes and I finally felt sort of okay.  Just tested and now I'm high (176) and will probably go higher.  I recognized the shaky, sweaty feeling of a low, but this time it came with rapid heart beats.  I laid on the bed, neither asleep nor full conscious.  It was a strange, twilighty time.  Now I'm getting very, very sleepy.  I'm sure it's a combination of my climbing bg's and it is 4 am.  I have to be up at 6:30 am and out the door by 7:30 am for an all day meeting/retreat.  I think my co-workers will finally meet Zombie Loracs.

Please be careful. I hope your bg's aren't too high now. Take it easy and take care!

"hypoglycemia unawareness"

if you google that, you'll get a wealth of info.

not that you don't know a lot already, but this may be a new development for you, and you'll have to use additional strategies to avoid what happened last nite.

and good morning, Zombie (oops, it's no longer morning).

Ack! I get rapid heart beats with mine, although the most reliable symptom is my hands going to sleep.
