![]() Anna's Blog By: FatCatAnna The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes! Whoo! Whoo! I am a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed back in the early 60's as a child. I am living in Montreal, Canada and enjoy scribbling about diabetes from time to time. I’ve had my ups / downs just like any person would experience with going through life - diabetic or not. My motto in life? Diabetes does not control me – I control it!! You can find more posts/discussions at my Facebook page called "The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes" and also on Twitter under the name of FatCatAnna. Feel free to follow me at both places or send me a private message!

Hi Anna, If the question is ... what would I do at 43? First and foremost, I would drink a few ounces of orange or apple juice. I drink OJ at home, apple juice boxes otherwise. Then, any further action would be determined based on what was causing the low and if that was the bottom. Normally, the juice would be the end of it. However, if excessive energy output was the cause (and there was more to come) or I overestimated a rapid acting dose (and peak hadn't hit) I would be rechecking every 15-30 minutes and possibly snacking as necessary. That's where my log book comes in handy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have much memory of everything I'd done especially relative to time increments. If, as you described, the 43 was just before bed - I'd probably try to stay awake a little longer. If it was clearly a slower than expected digestion, I'd definitely have to wake myself up because that freaking food is going to digestion sometime! Bad food.
