Just wondering if anyone else has this experience:
You wake up with a low blood sugar and cannot think ALL DAY!!
I may be a little unusual , I'm not sure. I have been type 1 for 34 years, am in tight control on the pump. Back in my 20s I would get low all the time. My co workers used to come to my apartment to give me juice if I didn't show up for work in the morning. This happened a lot for a few years. I did not feel lows. Could be standing up holding a conversation when I would begin convulsing. Only then did I know to get some juice. Even though my Dr. said this is impossible, the meter showed I was "low" (below 10) quite often. But then again, that's the same doctor who said I should only be testing 4x/day and refused to write me a RX for more strips. (He's gone)
Anyway, the head in the clouds all day thing doesn't always happen, but always after being low all night. It's to the point that I had to look at my mail for my name this morning. I know the science behind why all this is happening, but was wondering if anyone else gets this?
