After a few double takes, I rechecked 4 times with two meters: 28, 26, 29, 25.
Of course, this occurred in the two hours I was waiting before calibrating Eggy. No symptoms. I felt a little funny but wasn't suspecting a low at all. No shaking until 20 minutes later when treated with a few gulps of orange juice. Oh diabetes, you get stranger and stranger everyday.
As much as I don't like that you were so low, I love your list. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely get this! All lows are not created equal. For example: I barely felt it when I jumped off the elliptical yesterday only to find my bs at 40 mg/dL versus the shaky, hollow, eat everything in sight 56 mg/dL I felt before dinner two nights ago. Diabetes is so, so strange!
