"I do declare, such a low number would give me the vapors (spoken in my best Scarlet O'Hara voice)." LOL!

That is funny. When I first started reducing carbs and seeing lower bg numbers, I remember feeling like I was dying when I tested below 120 Shakes, babbling and all! Now I seem to feel the lows only if it's a huge dip ... mercifully, that doesn't happen often because it would indeed give me the vapors, too!
