I remember having a low once and "coming to" with the top to the glucose tablet container, and a pack of green tea in my hand and thinking- WHAT THE HECK? so it was sort of amusing but, at the same time, scary! it's understandable you might do something like this when experiencing a low.. especially in the middle of the night. I hope it doesn't happen again though! I keep all my low treatments by my bed to avoid going to the kitchen and eating anything in sight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-64765750716010283852008-01-01T20:57:00.000-06:002008-01-01T20:57:00.000-06:00Scott - yes indeed!Molly - may great adventures in...Scott - yes indeed!<BR/><BR/>Molly - may great adventures inspire you and Dixie in '08!<BR/><BR/>Susana - nice to meet you.

Once I was dreaming that there was an intruder in the house but I was actually low and my husband and I were sitting in the kitchen eating a snack...I didn't think I could trust him, though, because I thought he might be the intruder. As in, my brain was still manufacturing dreams while I was technically "awake." Very strange. And scary. So I can relate! I'm sorry you had to go through those uneasy feelings of not knowing what you had done. That stinks.<BR/>Happy New Year from a new reader! =)Susana la Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625149392915396947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-37696516887253636042007-12-25T18:54:00.000-06:002007-12-25T18:54:00.000-06:00Merry Christmas Kathy! :-)Molly and DixieMerry Christmas Kathy! :-)<BR/><BR/>Molly and DixieMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563743917551672283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-24204280010795682492007-12-15T23:08:00.000-06:002007-12-15T23:08:00.000-06:00Heh.

But heck, I still can't figure out how I got them open.<BR/><BR/>Cara - I usually don't keep juice boxes because I can't get the tiny straw in the teeny hole. And, I always have a jar of glucose tabs at my bedside - it's just that I go looking for something else.<BR/><BR/>Molly - Fortunately these really sneaky lows don't happen too often. I'd be a lot better off accepting that there are some db things that cannot be figured out.<BR/><BR/>Beth - what was Daniel intending to make - a henna quiche? At least he used the pyrex bowl vs something that was not ovenproof. It is so curious that some tiny parts of our brain work when the rest is entirely conked out.<BR/><BR/>Zaz - the bells are an interesting idea. When I test during the night, I always make myself walk into the kitchen, thinking that it will stir me enough so that I can make a proper decision with regard to the number.<BR/><BR/>Amylia - Yes, I've also had similar dreams and then confusion truly abounds.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Barry, not only would it be funny, but I think I'd check myself into "the unit" for afew days of rest.<BR/><BR/>Sarah - it is a comfort to knnow that I am not unique in this experience - maybe that's why my box of Vanilla Wafers never seems to last as long as I think it should. I should start looking for crumbs on the pillowcase.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, my friends, for all the good ideas and reassurance.

Once Daniel was only half awake and I asked him for water or something, and he went into the kitchen and put a pyrex bowl of henna, 2 eggs, and some saran wrap in the oven at 400. He came back with no water and half asleep. When I asked him what he had just done in the kitchen, we both went to see, and were pretty shocked to find out!! Yikes!<BR/><BR/>Hope your winter is beautiful and peaceful and full of fiber art and beads...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-79594192812458924882007-12-10T11:06:00.000-06:002007-12-10T11:06:00.000-06:00As a result of overnight hypos which were severe a...As a result of overnight hypos which were severe and nightly in my teens (thanks to NPH) I still wake up and snack (in my sleep) in the middle of the night. I find stuff on the cupboards, in the fridge, and sometimes the milk in the cupboard on a fairly regular basis. I understand being a little creeped out about it, but I have trouble even getting doctors to take me seriously when I say I eat in my sleep.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841767505240383644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-52597474684768849162007-12-08T11:56:00.000-06:002007-12-08T11:56:00.000-06:00What would be even more strange Kathy, is to leave...What would be even more strange Kathy, is to leave those empty juice bottles in your refrigerator and wake up the next morning to full ones with a cap on. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-80463147759606265112007-12-07T23:41:00.000-06:002007-12-07T23:41:00.000-06:00I think in a hypo state at 3am, it's normal to not...I think in a hypo state at 3am, it's normal to not really remember consuming the juice. I've done something similar. <BR/><BR/>Early this morn, about the same time as your hypo, I was having dreams of low blood sugar and eating Italian food and my brain finally woke me up--I had that glimmer of an idea in my sleep that maybe I was dreaming and really did have hypoglycemia. Sure enough--I was at 54mg/dl.<BR/><BR/>I've been as low as 30 and must say I don't recall what I eat when I am that low, either.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your hibernation and here's to staving off those hypos! <BR/><BR/>:)amyliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13476420072784830899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30709081.post-5491427656141829082007-12-07T22:33:00.000-06:002007-12-07T22:33:00.000-06:00I haven't been that low - but I can totally pictur...I haven't been that low - but I can totally picture doing things I'm not aware of in my sleep (or near sleep).

It's a bad habit; but I can't help myself. I know I'm doing it, but I'm so low, my brain won't tell me to "stop this you crazy person!"<BR/><BR/>I hope you don't crash like this anymore. That rebound effect is an awful feeling, I know. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you could try only keep 1 or 2 bottles of juice handy. Hide the rest of them somewhere where you wouldn't think to look when you're having a low in the middle of night. Just don't forget to restock later. <BR/><BR/>Hope you have a nice warm weekend! It's freezing here!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072030400404976772noreply@blogger.com
