Little scary moment earlier.
Had my normal post workout shake after training and did a little stuff around the house after.
Decided to go to the grocery store and about five minutes into the drive went hypo. Pretty bad too, sweats, lost some motor function, shaky, extremely dizzy.
Pulled over and grabbed some glucose tabs I kept in the car from when I ran slin last year.
First time I've went hypo since actually running insulin and I miss judged carb sources. To many simple carbs, not enough complex carbs to sustain me to my next meal.
yikes... man, that is some scry shit... This happened with my daughter, we were out riding bikes early one morning down a concrete bike trail on the river. it was hot muggy, we were sweating profusely, she skipped breakfast and went hypo, I had to knock on random doors to get help, Gatorade did the trick, but it was scary and took a few minutes longer than I was comfortable with to remedy her symptoms, I'll never forget her blank look, incoherency, and her loss of her motor functions as she sat there on the ground, it was a very sobering moment in time.
