Maybe a little tired. But really, he seemed okay.<br /><br />It didn't hit me until later how scary that was. He had been playing in his room. If he had fallen asleep????

I'm not usually one for feeling symptoms any more, but boy did I feel that one. The world was spinny and I felt really really drunk. I've never ever had a low that bad before!!!!pancreasonmybelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561955811528283717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-15548370868591370752010-12-05T04:12:51.598-05:002010-12-05T04:12:51.598-05:00We had the horrid experience of a low blood sugar ...We had the horrid experience of a low blood sugar induced seizure a few weeks after starting pumping. The endo believed that he'd been experiencing undetected lows (despite checking him at 9pm, 12 am, 2 am and 5am) this depleted his glucagon stores and thus leaving his body unable to battle the low properly that time - when we were able to check him he was 26, but that was after honey, juice and dang I forget what else. So...there's my worst d moment ever EVER. Which is why we now run Isaac probably too high at night and don't feel guilty about it at all.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-61254332157885790082010-12-05T01:03:12.717-05:002010-12-05T01:03:12.717-05:00so scary!!

The body's weird like that. I do know that if I am distracted/busy or my body is working overtime (e.g., very cold and trying to stay warm, stomach ache/cramps), I am more likely to not notice a really bad low. Only when I see the reading will it dawn on me how low and scary it is.alyssacrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-78719278961710765372010-12-04T18:58:44.291-05:002010-12-04T18:58:44.291-05:00No playing outside.

He was running up and down the sled hill without a care in the world.<br /><br />I find the cold will drive him extremely low (especially when he was younger). It wasn't uncommon for him to throw a 20 or 30 something my way while sledding and shoveling and playing outside during the cold Vermont winters. I figured it out and eventually tweaked, boosted, and prayed every time we went out (which, as you know because you have read enough about Joe by now to know it was ALL.THE.TIME....). Was SweetPea playing outside a lot today? Maybe she is sensitive to the cold too. Joe would also do a wicked rebound after some of those lows. It was some really trying times...I also figured out last year to boost him with about a 1/2 to a full cup of milk prior to ice skating in the backyard...that helped stave off the lows big time.<br /><br />xoxo...I am glad that she didn't seem worse for the wear Hallie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
