The problem with being in that state is that you don't realize you ARE in that state. You know something's wrong, off, whatever, but you're not cognizant enough to know what's going on.
I remember being on the road and talking to my hubby on the cell phone because I couldn't remember which exit I had to take (keep in mind, I was going home, so I take this exit every day!). He realized I was low and tried to make me pull over, but I had nothing in the car so he kept me on the phone until I'd gotten to the exit and reached a 7-11.
Moral of the story: I had NO idea I was low -- I just knew I forgot my exit and I was very very upset and agitated.
