They can happen at the worst or most inconvenient of times. Before an appointment, during an exam, at work or in a public place. There seems to be no shortage of experiences to learn from!Frankhttp://www.type1writes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-8044495502747152552015-06-12T01:10:19.722-04:002015-06-12T01:10:19.722-04:00I'm very glad you had the Kind bars available,...I'm very glad you had the Kind bars available, that you were able to lean on the cart and walk the distance to reach the Sprite and then had a place to rest. It's very frightening, especially when you're alone. I never remove my MedicAlert bracelet. I've experienced similar situations too many times and want the reassurance of that medical information being readily available.Janis Nussbaum Senungetukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198058138716657803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-7547555460621701892015-06-10T20:44:46.411-04:002015-06-10T20:44:46.411-04:00That completely sucks and anyone who has the balls...That completely sucks and anyone who has the balls to say that diabetes is a perfectly "controllable" or "manageable" disease needs to experience something like this before they start rattling their mouths off (and that especially includes people in the medical profession). Its really frightening and that alone is a perfectly valid reason for not having a great HbA1c. I actually wish there was a way for non-diabetic people to experience this for themselves; if they could, they might see things very differently! I'm glad you made it through OK!!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-74177399104687686382015-06-10T17:07:04.113-04:002015-06-10T17:07:04.113-04:00Oh, I know that feeling of "that soda machine...Oh, I know that feeling of "that soda machine is so far away" so well. One time during a work stay at a hotel, I got super low alone in my room at night. So low that I ate all my emergency sweet tarts and that wasn't enough. So I set out, dollar bills in hand.<br /><br />First soda machine - the cash thingy is broken. Onwards!<br /><br />Second soda machine - won't take my very crisp dollar bills, keeps spitting them back out! I had to stop and laugh at the mental image of me having a seizure in front of a soda machine with a fistfull of dollar bills in my hand. You gotta laugh at these situations we find ourselves in!<br /><br />I ended up going to lobby where the little store was still open, handing the cashier 8 dollars for a two dollar candy purchase (math was a bit beyond me at this point) and just stood there stuffing my face as the cashier hands me most of my money back with a weird look. Its a strange life we lead.<br /><br />Glad you made it through OK!Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604773543549298132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-27519765706539952632015-06-10T14:09:47.720-04:002015-06-10T14:09:47.720-04:00Gosh that sucks.

I always try to stay on top of it, and feel like I am in control and diabetes can't stop me from doing anything... and then I hear about something like this, or it happens to me. A low blood sugar strikes without warning and really brings you to yours knees. I'm sorry this happened to you, and I'm sorry you were alone and scared. This is why we need a cure. One day. Hopefully. Until then, I'm making sure to put my ID on my wrist and checking that I have glucose in my bag. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I forget how important it is. Sometimes I don't want to think about how important it is. Thanks for the reminder. <br />hugs (and puppy kisses from Tenzing)Rachelnoreply@blogger.com
