Reply #23: I recently went through two weeks of hell because of my diabetes.

And I can't find my medical ID dog tags. Crap. Time to order some more I guess.

When you get hypoglycemic, it's like trying to think through a thick cloud. The weird thing is, hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia feel almost the same to me. It's hard for me to differentiate between the two. I don't know if I've ever been as badly affected as the poor fellow in this story. Maybe. But if so, I was surrounded by friends because I didn't end up dumped in some forest. Sometimes I'm able to articulate: "My blood sugar is so low I can't think." After a certain point, though, all bets are off. :shrug:

I read about this guy last night and I'm very, very happy he was found alive. Welcome to DiabetesLand, bro. Make the best of your stay.
