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)

or me.

did you read up on that unrecognized hypoglycemia thing?

the main recommendation was to spend the next 2 weeks keeping your numbers higher than you normally do to kick start your body's awareness functions.

ahem.

I did read it. I have plenty of highs and I do reconize lows, so I'm not sure if I can/want to keep my numbers higher. I'm don't know why I'm swinging so much.

*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-)

Off Topic - clothes

I have a bag full of clothes, mostly shirts, that I got off of Freecycle. They're mostly 5X, new or may-as-well-be (some still have tags on them). It's been a couple weeks since I went through them, but the main thing I remember is 5 or 6 of the same button down shirt, white with some-color stripe, each shirt a different stripe color. There's other stuff too, including some women's suit jackets. Do you have any interest, for you or dbubley?

I'll take a look at them, or take all of them if you're just trying to get rid of them. We'll either use them or I'll pass them on. Thanks.
