Low

It is crazy how low blood sugars work, sometimes you feel fine and others make you feel like your stumbling around drunk.  Yesterdays run and bike ride have kept my blood sugar lower than normal this morning.  I can't complain, I love being on the low end but after having numbers that are higher than average this mornings low was an interesting one.

I was never in any danger but the low feeling didn't want to go away and that is one of the worse parts of a low.  Just after eleven, I felt dizzy and was surprised to see 54 when I tested, I don't know if seeing that number made my low worse but I felt like I was in the thirties.  I quickly grabbed a couple of juice boxes and a fiber one bar, today would have me eating my lunch backwards.  I will often eat a backwards lunch if I'm low before lunch. (A backwards lunch is when you eat your dessert first.)  I will often do this to fix my low and then take insulin to cover my lunch.  Today it was tough to take that two units to cover my lunch, when I tested a half hour later I was at 136 but I still felt like I was in the fifties.  These are some of the worse lows because your blood sugar is fine but you still feel low so you are inclined to eat more and have more juice.  This will often result in a high blood sugar which leads to anger and taking to much insulin to fix the high.

I took my two units of insulin and enjoyed my lunch, I really wanted to eat more to fix the low feeling but with a basketball game later this afternoon the last thing I wanted was to be on blood sugar roller coaster during a game.  This is odd to say but I'm happy to have low blood sugars back, I'm happy that my workout is giving me lows.  I love that workout versus diabetes battle, to me that makes my diabetes.
