Ill also share a cute story just to cheer evety one up.

First I am hypo unaware. It is a condition that often hits long term well managed T1ds (40years in my case) where we lose the ability to tell when our sugar is low.

At the time this sugar tax came in. Icwas goingvthrough a 3 year strugle with nice. Where my specialist was trying to grt me issued a CGM. (Continues, Glucose Monitor that warns you when going low)

I had a girl friend at the time. Who litrally kept me alive. As over the hot summer nights she was regually required to place glucose in my mouth as I was having a fit.

But after the glucose was in. It can take up to 10 mind for my mind to start responding sanely. Low blood sugar can look like you are very very drunk to outsiders.

So she would be paniking and constently asking what to do while I was recovering. With me just not in a mental state to explane.

So when fine one day she asked me wjat was best.

So I gave her thos advice. Post the low. I genrally needvto take some slower acting carbs to prevent the heat sending me down again.

The easiest way tovtake it is a sugery cup of tea and a few biscuits.

Now that is only rechnically true. Pretty much anythibg with a lottle morecsugar and some slow acting carbz will work.

But when i wake up after those night time lows. My memory is missing a chunch of s few hours (I never regain that). And things feel pretty darn stressful.

You have no idea how relaxing a sweat cup of tea in bed and some biscuits to dunk is as your comming to from that crsp.

While also taking the GF mind of rhe panic and giving her something to do rather then worry if I am going to die.
