Jodie, lows are so scary! It is so hard to deal with those feelings for the 10-15 minutes after you've eaten to correct. It feels like an eternity. I'm glad to hear you're okay, though.

Actually, I am such a deep sleeper, I fear I might sleep through a terrible low someday. There was one night during which my cat woke me up by jumping on the bed and then on top of me. (This happens sometimes.) As soon as I sat up to pet him, I felt all the wobblyness and shakes of a low. I tested and I remember being 49 or so.

I mean, I think my body would wake me at a certain point, but that point is really too low for comfort!
