Added: Sf hot chocolate

in the car:   4 cocopops crackers (15 cals each) and 1/2 c ham salad....my blood sugars were dangerously low at 45

By the time I arrvied home, I was dying of stomach cramps (ham salad didn't agree with me)
I had to take my meds so around 8pm snack was some Chiobani yogurt. w 1/2 c oatmeal.

Wokeup this morning and blood sugar was respectable 107!
Today -- will watcht he danger hour of car ride home with more care... need to balance low blood sugars with appropriate foods.   I brought 4 glucose tabs to ward off low blood sugar and will use them as my medicine.

I love the recap idea too. I don't seem to follow what I plan most days. Mostly because someone eats my food before I get to it.

How do you know your blood sugar levels in the car? Were you diabetic before? I've had about 3 times since surgery where I felt immediately shaky and like my neck and head were burning from the inside out and my vision gets a little screwy. Is that low blood sugar? and what is the BEST thing for us to eat immediately to fix that?

I was and still am diabetic.   Just back to insulin about a week ago.  

I carry my montior with me faithfully and do finger ***** tests 6 times each day and when I feel jittery, break out in cold sweat   I felt strange yesterday on the way home, so I pulled over and did a test.  (jittery, blurry vision)  Unforuntately, I was not prepared  with appropriate treatment so I stopped in a deli and got the first thing I saw.  (not a good idea!)

Any way, I've learned my lesson... and I now carry GLUCOSE tablets with me and will use them as my "MEDICINE" to treat a low blood sugar.  I'm validating that with my nutrtitionist.

I think each person should be contact with their respective nutritionist/doctor to discuss how to treat a low blood sugar..and what is their best food/treatment option.
