Hypoglycemia, Anyone have it?

I think I have staved off the symptoms for a looong time because I have a habit of sipping on my protein shakes all day long. I only notice issues on days when I go without. I have a blood test thingie, but the batteries are dead. I have to get them replaced and start testing my blood when I feel outta whack.

I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
I forgot to mention, since I had my episode several days ago I went out and bought several different kinds of protein bars, at the suggestion of the folks here. I made sure I bought protein bars that have sugar in them though. Some protein bars, like Adkins bars, are low carb and very low sugar. That's not going to help when you need a rescue from hypoglycemia. I also bought the glucose tablets Melting Mama suggested. I bought the little tube containers: one for my purse and one for home.

You know, I asked this question at a meeting last week and the nurse skirted the issue. I think it may be one of those things they don't like to talk about for fear they will scare folks from the surgery. Kinda like telling someone who has never had a baby all the things that can go wrong during pregnancy or childbirth.
