| The women in my family are all prone to hypos and we get very ugly when they happen (as my husband discovered on our first travelling adventure together -- he liked to get up and drive for two hours before breakfast. He stopped suggesting that very quickly!). I got like that soon after Aaron was diagnosed and checked on his meter -- 3.7. Many people would not even call that hypo but I would have dismembered any one standing between me and food at that point. I can only imagine what a bad one feels like.
Randy Newman wrote a song for me and my sister:
"She may be hungry, she won't say,
But you better get a burger or something into her right away.
If you don't, you gonna pay
At the hand of the one you love."
