Hi everyone, I am starting off today by saying sorry to people who I may have offended last week, I was getting stressed so much and I needed to vent about what has been going on in my life, I know that people talk to other people "normally" but I use this to get my anger out and it did relate to my diabetes. If anyone wants to tell me what they think please feel free.
Now to go to what I am talking about this week. You have to put trust in people whether it be your family or it be new people that have come into your life either as friends or family. The people I put my trust in last night were my new family. I don't remember a bit of what happened and other bits are still fuzzy.
I had been messing around with my step brother Chis, like families do but I started to feel myself going Hypo so I got up and sat on the sofa and checked my levels, they were 3.7 so I went to the kitchen and got out my Lucozade and had 150ml. I know this is too much but a lately it has been taking a lot more to bring me up. I waited the standard 10 minuets to see if it took affect (whilst doing all this I told my step mum what I was).
When I checked it again it had not gone up but it had dropped to 2.8, by this time we were worried but not enough to strap me to a stretcher and take me away, so yet again I had some more Lucozade it was about another 20ml and again we waited. By this time I was very cold and I was shaking so Chris worried to heat me up to stop the shaking he sat with me and just hugged me.
Sharon by this time was so worried I wasn't making sense because I had dropped to 2.7, so she did the only thing she could think of she rang my sister Antoinette for help, as my dad was at work. So Antoinette told her to give me two slices of bread and more Lucozade in a glass this time so I can gulp it down. We waited in anticipation to see if I would come up and sure enough I came up to 4.9. I could feel my self getting warmer and the numbness in my head had gone.
We then spent the rest of the night going through what happens if I collapse, which I will be doing for my video blog soon I just have to find a camera man.
