While I was hypo
I’m trying to write this while I’m still hypo becasue I’m kinda interested in what comes out.
My blood sugar measured 2.3 mmol/l on my freestyle libre about 3 minutes ago. I’ve had 2 mars bars and they are going to take a while to kick in.
My head hurts – the pain is over my left hemisphere, about the size of my palm. I’m full of mars bars and I’m having a little difficultly focusing.
I must try to edit this after wards – that would break the point.
I’m functional, I could probably say some proper sentences though they’d be a little slow. I can still think – I have some mess in my life at the moment, and that’s pretty prominent but mostly I just want to sleep. I just want to close my eyes and drift off.
I’m focusing better, water seems like a good idea. I’m up to 2.7 mmol/l on the libre so probably about 3.4mmol/l via blood – it takes a while for the sugar to seep out from the capillaries in to the fluid the sensor measures. Mars bars are a bit slow but they’ve got a serious punch.
Yes, feeling much more normal (whatever that is anyways). Night all 😉
Why do this?
Good question; because when I was very small, I could never remember hypos. That changed a little when I got into my twenties. Never anything useful, but some of the psychedelic nightmares did stick.
I sometimes get an enormous amount of peace when I’m hypo, but sometimes the physical short falls are terrifying. I had one hypo in 2007 where I was completely paralysed down one side and that was awful. Even when I came round.
Some people do a great deal to never be hypo. Thing is, however bad it feels, this is preferable to being high. Every time, I’ve never had a great high blood sugar, it always hurts like mad.
