| I have had far too many lows for them to really enter in the running (bad me, bad me).
My worst experience was the endo visit the morning after I was first diagnosed. He clearly hadn't read my chart, walked into the room very sternly and businesslike and yelled at me for five minutes telling me that I needed to take better care of myself and take my insulin or I would kill myself. He either hadn't read that I was newly diagnosed or he was a complete 8%#@!>*. I made sure that I had a different endo when I got into the system because I knew that if I ever saw that guy again, I would rip his head off.
On the funny side, a friend of mine is a paramedic and came to treat a low I had in the middle of the night about ten years ago. At that point in my life, I didn't where pjs, but that experience would change that. When I woke up the next day, he had written "Ted was here" on my stomach.
There are all kinds of bumps and bruises that can hit us along our way with this reality; let's hope that we are resilient enough to recover and wise enough to learn from those bumps and bruises.
