Mmmumble mumble....What - there's an incoming invasion of them and we should all take shelter? Or you've stuffed yourself on them and your blood shot up like it was rocket powered?
It’s the panic response in your brain due to being starved for glucose and the adrenaline which is responsible for most of the hypo symptoms.Mmmumble mumble....
Went pretty low in a hurry at lunchtime.
(vertical drop on xDrip+)
Reached for the JBs in my emergency pack and before I could stop myself I shoved a handful in my mouth.
Why is it that when you go low you feel like you want to eat everything in sight?
Feeling really groggy now and people keep asking me technical questions.... moan..

Morning all, have a good Friday.
Slightly high this morning, 8, so not big gasp high, and I’ve woken much later than usual. It feels odd, like going back to younger times, but it’s probably because I wasn’t woken earlier by moans about a lump of titanium.
Probably even funnier when it’s 2 a.m . and we are standing in the kitchen clad in damp PJ’s eating anything that isn’t to difficult to unwrap and telling ourselves we shouldn’t be eating this much on account we are diabetics.You guys are so funny
Most definitely not a dunker.If you dunk your Rich Tea in your Jack Daniels, I may go off you.
JD needs pouring down the sink and replacing with something drinkable...Surely JD needs Bourbon biscuits?

Ah, @Jazz97 , personally i take such people as patronising. Yes it is life, but he is not living in your shoes. Who you tell is your business. Some of us see the world as a glass half empty, others as a glass half full. There is just as much water in the glass, the perspecrive is what is different. Being pessimistic or pessimystic as i in jest refer to it, has some advantages: we don't go into situations half-cocked or blase - such caution can serve us well. But it can be a heavy load to carry at times if we allow it to press down on us. Optimism ( or optimystic) has its pluses and minuses too. Being overconfident has lead to problems as well. But the hurdles of life appear smaller, less daunting.Evening all,
Sorry I've been AWOL for the past couple of days. Turns out coming back to uni has had more of an affect on my mental health than I thought it would.
Had an interesting conversation with my lecturer today... he said that I have a pessimistic outlook on life and that I should try to be more positive. I explained to him that I was trying my very best to be positive, but that my diagnosis is having a huge impact on my life right now. But oh, I don't need to worry, because once I have my levels as normal, then everything will be plain sailing. He also told me not to make a "drama" about my diabetes and that I shouldn't have to tell everyone on my course. And everytime I said that I want to tell them so that i dont have to go to the toilet and hide my diabetes, he said, "but you can, and you dont need to tell them".
So I guess I domt have to worry, because, according to my lecturer, diabetes will be easy to live with within one year of diagnosis and it should no way impact on my day to day life. Oh and, when I said, "yes, it will be easier, but my levels will still be going high and low at times".... I get the reply, "well that's just life."
Anyway, I'm going to try and catch up on some of what I've missed before going to sleep
