As Sandra said, it is not always the number but the speed with which the bg is falling that affects me. <BR/><BR/>One always assumes that all other diabetics react similarly, and we all know that is completely wrong. But still your heart tells you they MUST react as I do! I fall apart emotionally all the time, several times a week. I have two choices: 1.aim for tight control and that means hypos, and I do not mean once a week! or 2. "not so tight control" and this , at least for me, means yoyo bg levels. I cannot fine a happy medium. So I live with the hypos. The "not so tight control" ALSO makes me feel like SHIT and SUPER DEPRESSED!<BR/><BR/>One could write a whole lot about our poor spouses/families' who have to live with us. But are they perfect? This is just one of my minus points. <BR/><BR/>You have to look on the light side - some hypos are so funny that your life becomes "richer" from them. I have spent 20 minutes staring up at the old art-nouveau houses in Brussels and thinking that they were so beautiful against the feathery clouds and blue skyes...... Now every time I pass this spot I clearly remeber the beauty I saw. My husband remebers that I would NOT go home and WOULD NOT ADMIT it was a hypo! What I call "staring", he perceives as "glaring". But I enjoy that spot more after the hypo than before. I also remeber wondering HOW to walk up stairs???!!! JUST HOW DO YOU GET UP THEM??? Or how do you get a key to go into a keyhole and turn and open the door. I appreciate all these things when I compare them to how impossible these things can be if you just do not comprehend how they function.<BR/><BR/>ME TOO, I get starving with hypos, but then I KNOW I must measure the right amount of coke and so I can walk all the way home if I am without coke...... Really stupid!<BR/><BR/>But don't you have some funny hypos? At least funny for you, although maybe not for your husband!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28939700.post-1152128185781977772006-07-05T12:36:00.000-07:002006-07-05T12:36:00.000-07:00Nic,Reading this, I was so afraid you were going t...Nic,<BR/><BR/>Reading this, I was so afraid you were going to cut yourself with that knife... Phew!<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering if you might have been falling fast-- that's usually the case when Joseph gets really emotional during a low, but the meter shows him in the 60s. We'll look at his last check, and nine times out of ten he's riding a steep downward curve.<BR/><BR/>Though the number isn't scary, the symptoms definitely are.<BR/><BR/>Glad you're okay.Sandra Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664436447708465809noreply@blogger.com
