Is it bad after a heavy night of drinking, I get home and just want to sleep even though my BG is at 3.4? Doesn't help that I'm not even hungry and can't even eat anything sugary :/
 
Hi,
Your entitled to having a good time.
You can't have been that drunk if you managed to log in & write a coherent first post...

At "3.4" alone for me the forum formatting would have been blurred & a "white out" to my eyes..
You know the score with bedding down on lows.. ;)
 
It was more the fact that when I got home I actually sobered up a hell of lot due to throwing up twice, and yeah I know the score with lows, I just didn't want to eat anything at that point :(

Ah, I see.. Yep did that once at a "black tie" do... Amazingly, didn't soil my tux.! :D
 
Small bit of lucozade or other sugary drink would of been better than nothing, but probably wouldn't of acted long enough for many through the night to off set the drop from the alcohol, especially that low.

There's one thing that probably doesn't help. This house is like a ghost town without any sugar, apart from the strawberry laces I have in my room.

Well, as long as you didn't get to the point where you were using your infusion set as a "beer bong"..? All's well that ends....! :p

I would never do anything stupid like that and I never try to get to the point where I don't know what the hell I'm doing anymore :cat:
 
Glad to hear it.. Where diabetes is concerned the only person you can rely on is yourself..
The most help you might get from a non D would probably be the "recovery position" & a two horse race between the paramedics showing up first, or a coma...
