What does this have to do with medications for diabetics?
Last night, for my 5:00 pm reading, I had my meter sitting on the couch while I was waiting for
the reading, it beeped, I looked, 26!
WOW, 26!
I didn't feel Hypoglycemic! No symptoms at all!
Bad test strip?
Had I developed a tolerance to hypoglycemia? I've read that this can happen. I've always felt the
symptoms before it got that low.
I decided to use another strip, retested, and looked when it beeped.
92!
I turned the meter around!
26!
I showed my wife and we both had a good laugh!
I'll never do that again!
We live and learn!
I'm only five and a half weeks into being a diagnosed diabetic and this is the first time I've been
able to laugh about anything that deals with being a type one diabetic!
I think it helped!
I'm not knocking the serious nature of this BB. but we do need to laugh once in a while!
I hope this will bring a smile to someone out there.
I definitely needed to see this diabetes thing in a little lighter aspect.
Live, love, and learn. Harm no one while doing it! "LaughingDragon" 7/3/2000
