| Michelle, is possible to purchase a blood pressure monitor? I bought one in May of 2002 and now keep a regular watch of it. However, even when the first of the two readings (can't remember what it's called right off hand) is below 100, I don't feel strange, so low blood pressure may not be your problem. Since you live in Birmingham, perhaps I could loan my blood pressure monitor to you for a while.
I go into insulin shock really easy and frequently do so without knowing it, since I suffer from brittle diabetes. I will sometimes feel really strange when it happens. I depend on checking my blood sugar frequently and Brandy, my cat, who's also my only friend in the world, warning me. I was checking my sugar 8 to 12 times a day but thanks to being among the hardcore unemployed, I've had to cut back to 5 times a day. I was using some cheap blood glucose strips which are no longer being manufactured and I'll probably run out of my supply of them by the end of this month. Not too sure what the future holds when that happens unless I can find employment, which isn't likely to happen.
In fact, I feel a little strang right now and probably need to check my blood sugar. It was around 120 the last time I checked it.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .
Say you want me
with you ,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go to . . .
Christine,
that's all I ask of . . .
(you)
