49er

Last Night
It happened...a scary low. I remember when finally regaining control over my BG's, 90 felt like a low that I needed to treat. Now I have had far better control. However yesterday was a very stressful day. My tire blew out and I had to stand out in the heat for a considerable amount of time until my brother-in-law was able to come and change my tire!
I finally made it home a couple of hours later and had dinner. Two hours later, I started feeling a little numb but I still felt ok. I checked on my Aviva and I was shocked to see a BG of 49. I felt very anxious and was desperate to get some juice! Everything in the fridge was either bottle water or some sugar-free drink! DUH?? What was I thinking not having regular stuff available. I have just never had a low. Right away, my husband hurried to the store and came back with orange juice. I drank a whole glass in about 1 second or less. I waited 15 minutes and checked and it took over an hour for me to get to 80. I don't know what the heck caused it. I think it is the stress from the day! What scares me the most is that I was not that uncomfortable and it just slowly crept up on me. Then I felt so exhausted as if I were hit by a freight train. I went to bed and had Danny wake me up an hour later to check my blood. He did it was 120. I slept the rest of the night. This is what makes it hard.
