I can't imagine what the full effect is for a diabetic when they're affected by a low.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-1150859822309790492006-06-20T23:17:00.000-04:002006-06-20T23:17:00.000-04:00About whether or not you got a taste of what Riley...About whether or not you got a taste of what Riley feels, I definitely think so. However, I don't want you to think that Riley somehow feels so much worse when he's lower. The thing is, diabetics are used to rapidly swinging blood sugars. You are not. I know hypoglycemics who get very shaky, crabby and woozy and their blood sugars are in the 60s and 70s, and they never (or rarely) top 125 mg/dl. But we, on a regular basis, swing between 50 and 350, so I think most of us have been desensitized to any real significant awareness of a drop. We obviously feel it, but I think it's stronger in a non-diabetic when they go "low" because it's so rare. <BR/><BR/>Limp dish rag is a pretty accurate description... I suppose you do know how it feels. And it does suck. I'm sorry you had to go low. It's fun for nobody.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.com
