Diabetics R Us

If you ever have a stubborn high and plan to prepare dinner at the same time, and you do a little bit of rage-bolusing/stacking, and then find out you suddenly have baby-guinea-pigs running around in the guinea-pig pen instead of cooking, you'll end up A: Trying to take a picture of the babies, which won't work, as their little instincts work just fine and they'll hide under the bushes, and B: sipping undiluted lemonade instead of having dinner.
And none of this matters, as you'll still have lovely little baby guinea-pigs!
I'll just sit out the hypo with my lemonade (don't dare navigating stairs to find something better as meter confirmed 3,4 so I'll stay where I am) and don't care about diabetes because, hey, baby guinea-pigs! Life is wonderful!
Hope I can show you a picture tomorrow!

Oh, undiluted lemonade worked better than I thought. From 3.4 to 6.9 in less than 15 minutes... Rest of the night will probably be a mess and cost lot of test strips, but I still got baby guinea-pigs, so who cares!

Baby guinea-pigs are very cute. How many?

Two, as far as I could see (they were hiding, I have a pretty big pen with bushes, so not completely sure). But I've probably got another two pregnant guinea-pigs as well :) . My other 7 guinea-pigs are rehomed from a shelter, but the last 3 come from my neighbour. He had an accident with male and female piggies, so we sorted their offspring and I took the females to join my group of females plus neutered male. A bit too late, obviously :) . We'll sort the little ones as soon as they are between 5 and 6 weeks, and the males will return to the neighbour.
 
And back to 3.5 and more lemonade. That'll teach me to rage-bolus. At least now I remember why I usually stay pretty low carb :(
. Too bad I'm never hungry when hypo. Ah, well, I still have guinea-pigs.
 
Good night Duckies. I may be going to the garden centre tomorrow, if this going out lark carries on I shall be getting a reputation ;)

I have a couple of bunnies. Well Rabbits they are about 12 pounds each. Pretty ugly when they are born compared to Guinea-pigs.
I got mine neutered because I only wanted two.;)
 
Anyone else experience uncontrollable laughing, especially about their own jokes but in general as well with the slightest reason as a hypo symptom? I kinda like it. I have to see how it works exactly, but it looks like it's an early warning to me :)

Could you post a picture? I like rabbits as well (currently have 2 ladies) but I like the guinea pigs more because tey're so vocal!

Let me see if I can find one to post.
Funny I like that other then thumping and a grunt here and there, that my bunnies are not vocal. Lol

Mine live in my garden, and not in my house. That might make a significant difference :p

So do mine. They have a lovely apartment that MrHotpepper built. They sleep in there at night and during the day roam around the backyard. They come in the house for visits though.
