What "low sugahs" is actually like This is a big fuck you to all the cows that devour candy bars under the excuse of low blood sugar. I had a low episode tonight.  I was working late, and while I'm still not sure what happened, it's likely due to the fact I had been saving my carbs and calories for dinner with my SO and friends from out of town, I went too long without eating.  I remember feeling tired beyond reason and increasingly spacey like I was drunk.  My SO had come to pick me up, I got in the car and tested. My glucometer read 44 mg/dl. I tested again and got a 42 mg/dl. I only really know this because of my glucometer records.  My memory gets fuzzy.  I have indistinct memories of doing math and trying to get some equations to give the same result. Evidently I did test, but when my SO then tried to get me to take a glucose tab, I was irrational and refused, trying to work out the exact glycemic load of the tab, my likely insulin marshaling response, and resulting blood sugar. The result for me, btw, would be about (base) + 3*carbs, since this was pure glucose, and given my tabs are 6g each, and I took two, it's simply 62, I'd stabilize enough to get some low GI carbs, and as far as marshaling goes, eh ballpark it at 30-45m. But I couldn't do simple math or fully understand my situation.  It took considerable pressure to get me to eat, and I was massively irrational and refused to take any glucose. Low sugar is not an excuse to stuff your fucking face.  It's a real complication for managed type 2s and any type 1, it is dangerous, and is characterized by irritability, irrational behavior, and disorientation. Stop using my condition as an excuse for gluttony you fucking cows.
