So I had a minor set back this evening. My blood sugar crashed hard. I was reading and suddenly my leg muscles cramped up and I couldn't see. I was able to check my glucose and it was 37. I literally crawled to the fridge, sat in the floor and chugged juice from the bottle. 30 minutes later I checked and it was 67. I had a KIND bar and peanut butter. 30 more minutes I was only at 75. Had a glass of milk. Another half hour, 63. So my husband calls urgent care (he's home by this time) and they tell him bring me to the er. During the 20 minutes it took to get to the er my glucose stabilized and was a perfect 109. So there was nothing to er could do for me. No idea why I crashed so hard. So, I ate a really hearty dinner; steak, potato, steamed veggies so hopefully I'm remain stable now.
I had to completely forget about my calorie intake and nutrition plan in order to "feed the insulin". It was scary and hopefully I did not ruin this week's progress. #workoutgoals #Hammerandchisel #t1dwontstopme #t1dtriedtokillme #nadiabetes #jdrfny

Almost dead
Hypoglycemia Unaware
Trying to get ready for my #biblestudy with #pwoc and my pump stays screaming at me. Thank God for the #cgms I found in my box of supplies last week. My #glucose is dropping again. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to talk about all this and put a new claim into #healthnet and #tricare with the new data showing the lows. It sucks because hypoglycemia unawareness not safe for me to #drive and I like my bible study. This is how #hypoglycemiaunawareness can debilitate your #qualityoflife Feeling disappointed and defeated.
