Two Minutes for Ill-timed Low Blood Sugar

Sometimes it is the kind of low blood sugars that cause the most interesting situations.  When my blood sugar is around 70 I feel low but my brain disappears and makes the low seem a lot worse than it actually is.  For instance I have forgot my phone password, atm code and what I'm doing before when my blood sugar is around 70.

With an amazing baby boy in the house those things now happen without a low blood sugar.  All jokes aside I have been trying to keep my blood sugar above 100 so that I'm the best I can be when I'm home and helping Kate or caring for D on my own.  On Friday one of those freak kind of low blood sugars happened.  Kate and other family members were home so it was okay but I'm still pissed about what happened.

D was in need of a bottle and we are mixing so preparing a bottle takes a little thought but has been done a seven year old so it isn't that difficult.  I told Kate I would put the bottle together so that she could feed him.  After a few minutes she came in to the kitchen to find me scratching my head and angry.  I tried to explain to her what was going but I was quickly sent to the penalty box aka the dinner table to fix the low.  I grabbed my fruit snacks and sat at the table where our five year old son asked if I was taking medicine to feel better.  I laughed and explained that daddy need the sugar to feel better.

Kate and I have a tremendous system in place for the children and for my diabetes.  As always I wish this would never happen but I love that I have pieces in place to make it okay when it does happen.
