Thanks everyone for your replies - it makes me feel: well OK this is apparently a normal response. I guess the saying
Misery loves company applies here!
Peggy, your comment about your husband's hypos reminded me of my husband's role through two pregnancies - I would get so low in the night that I couldn't help myself - he either had to administer juice or give me a shot of glucagon. Now he will check that I am OK or let me know that my pump is making a noise.
Nancy, I find for myself that juice is faster than any type of food. I no longer enjoy OJ for itself, just think of it as an emergency item! I keep apple juice boxes in the car but from reading your 2nd post realize that I could keep some by the bed! Silly how I get locked into one course of action but it is an automatic response -
walk to the kitchen.
Again, thank you all for your responses
