| Death can happen, but thankfully it is rare. Anyone who has seen numbers in the teens probably feels they were close to death and felt very scared, but we can survive some amazing things. The lowest number on a meter I've had was 19, and that was after a little OJ . . . but I almost lost consciousness, felt it slipping, but never did actually lose it. I kept talking and wasn't alone.
Several here have had emergency help when low. So far, my husband has been my only er help. Dewey just had a huge scare (15) but survived, thank God.
Keep looking for that balance -- you need to quit having so many lows; that probably isn't any better for you (maybe worse) than being a little high too much of the time. I know going low kills brain cells -- I think I read going under 40 especially is bad for those brain cells. I know I'm trying to keep as many of those as I can!!
