Odd Low Thoughts

I have some very unusual reactions when my blood sugar gets low, the most interesting one for quite sometime has been yawning.  This isn't always the best reaction to a low, I have been yawning during basketball games that are in overtime.  I have also been yawning while trying to find an irrigation leak at the golf course, and yawning as I finish a half marathon.  It seems that the yawning reaction only appears during important moments, it also gets me in trouble.  I have been asked by my boss numerous times if I'm bored or had a late night the night before when I'm yawning at 9am while working like a mad man.

My newest low reaction is very interesting and a little scary.  Lately when my blood sugar is lower than 80 I start to have these very random, for lack of a better term flashbacks.  Randomly I will be thinking of a time I did something wrong in my life, you would think it would be major mistakes but it is not.  They are the most random incidents, for example one I had the other day was getting in to the limo before my girlfriend at my prom.  No lie, don't ask me where that came from but it popped in to my head while I was low.  Some other examples of my low flashbacks are, feeling bad for dressing just like the bouncer at the local bar we went to in college (it was a bar in the mountains of NY), and making a coworker think he locked his keys in his car (he wasn't happy all afternoon while working).  I also start to speak with the accent of one of the students I coached this past season.  Not only do I have low flashbacks but I start to speak with a slight spanish accent, it's something to see.

As always I have no idea where these thoughts or accents come from but is good to know that they are only present when my blood sugar is low.  The brain is very odd and powerful thing and it often scares me how it works when my blood sugar is low or high.
