| Glad you made it OK Jamison.
One cannot blame you for your inaction. When you're hypo, your brain doesn't work well. Making these "bad" decisions is not only normal but expected.
The thing to learn from this, and I have done what you've done too many times, is to prevent them from happening again. ALWAYS test before you drive. ALWAYS assess your BG trends before you drive. You may test normal, but honestly ask yourself how confident you feel about where your BG will go over the next hour or so. If you are low or non confident about your trend, pop the tabs!
I did this very thing yesterday and today as we took a two-day road trip. I actually stuffed my face with an apple and cherries when my sugar was 6.0 mmol/l (98 mg/dl) because I felt really hungry. I suffered a high, but we arrived safely.
Test, don't guess! |
