Better

[loracs]

After my low of last night, I was only 74 this morning.  In a non-diabetic person this number sounds fine, but that feels just a little too close to a crash for me.  I can not eat right when I get up.  I need at least 30 - 45 minutes before I can stomach anything and and hour or so is even better.   I took one glucose tab (usually I treat with 3 - 4 for a low) and took a shower.  I've had breakfast now, so I'm feeling better.  I think I'll take my meter to work today, I'm just feeling a little too fragile.

Busy day today.  Big Moves fundraiser, A Taste for Dance, is tomorrow.  If you're local, you've probably received an email from me.  It's a fun, "all you can eat" chocolate and performance event.  If you're just cruising LJ's and you want more info go to http://www.bigmoves.org/sanfran.html.  My lovely, flowing, chocolate fountain will be there plus lots of delicious sweets - on and off the stage!

You're supposed to be calling me or serenejournal when you have lows like that, young lady! (shakes finger)

*hanging my head, shrugging my shoulders, while kicking at the non-existent dirt at my feet* I know my judgment is off when I'm low, but I have, so far, always recognized it and immediately started treating it. Plus Gilly and I were the only ones awake last night and she said to stop my whining, eat something and go to bed. 8-)
