Ah, the things we do in the name of low blood sugar...

After almost 23 years with Type I, I tend to not notice an insulin reaction until I've dropped below 50. In fact, I'm often able to function perfectly well until I reach that point--except, of course, for the minor detail of my brain turning into the neurological equivalent of Silly Putty.

Well, there have been several times when I've been running around with no clothes on when all the curtains and blinds are open. One time my boyfriend asked me what I wanted to eat to take care of the low blood sugar, and I picked up my cat and said I was going to eat her. (Boyfriend took the cat away from me and put her out in the yard where he figured she'd be safer until I felt better!)
