Yesterday I nearly cut my finger off cutting up tomatoes for a salad. And today my nephew, sister and the family flew away from me :( TWO BIG FROWNS! And Jayann went back to Missoula but hopefully she is coming back next week yayyyy!

BUT I went out to lunch with my mommy, and tonight we are having tacos (I am not allowed to cut tomatoes), there's a storm coming (STORMS YAY) and I bought my NZ housemates (and friends) Twinkies so they could try them and be like the people in the films. Eating gross things. I also got Butterfingers. I have a list. It makes me LOL silently.

Yep. Complained about the feeling high without being high here

Shark schpunt!

OH yes, I know that feeling well. I've never been high or drunk either, but that's the best dang explanation for it and people just DON'T realize that when your sugars are out of wack EVERYTHING is out of wack and for a while. It messes with your stability, your head, your heart, how you feel, how you think, and what's worse with hypoglycemia is that you can't take anything for it. All you can do is eat right and exercise. We can't take drugs and pills and shots like a diabetic.

Hrm...question now....do you ever get like the inner trembling thing? Where you like are shivering but on the inside? I get that a lot and it freaks me out. I used to think it was because I was nervous or excited or even angry at something, but found out later it's on the list of symptoms.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

I DO! I tremble 24/7 but sometimes it's worse than others. Sometimes I can hardly type and forget writing by hand. My hands shake all the time so my handwriting is terrible anyway but yeah. I hate it when I'm so shakey I can't type. It's annoying.

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

OH GOOD. Well, not good but yes for me not being the only one. I hate the trembling and when its inside its really awkward. Like your insides are cold but there's no breeze. O_o

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

I hate that feeling :( I actually talked to my housemates about that exact feeling a few months ago. I was like "My stomach is COLD but that makes NO SENSE" and she was like O_O

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

And then you cant. stop. shaking. It just like goes like some sort of tic.

I've noticed something too, in movies I've seen recently more and more people are putting in scenarios where people/characters are hypoglycemic but like...I don't think people still get it yet. Anyways. Yeah....that was random.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

I wish it would get out there more because obviously Lewi's parents didn't believe me though bless him, Lewi did. And my housemates do. But it's still such an unknown condition and that's SO frustrating.

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

I do too! I had a boyfriend once that thought everytime I felt 'sick' I was faking it. Can't fake a sugar attack dood, like not ever. It is frustrating, even when you work with people and tell them unless they SEE you near crash to the floor, talking hysterically and crying because you feel so bad but keep telling them your fine, can't really even get a glimpse of it.

I was fifteen when that stuff started happening, and god knows I love my parents to death that they are okay and understand it, and the friends I have that have stuck around for so long despite some really weird stuff that happens sometimes when your moods go all out of whack. My dad is diabetic and my mother has to deal with it. I've read and heard that oftentimes the people that suffer the worst with people with blood sugar attacks are their loved ones and friends. Because they have to deal with us. XD

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

I was like...born when it started happening. It's SO crappy. So hear hear. Yeah, Lewi was always a champion with dealing with me! Luckily my new housemates are too. It's a fortunate thing.

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. You weren't by chance a premie were you? I was, and I've heard before that many premies can become hypoglycemic.

That's an awesome thing! It's good to have peeps around that are like, okay your weird, I don't understand you sometimes, but I can deal with you even on your strange days. Sometimes when my moods swing so crazily, all I can do the next day is honestly say I'm sorry, and I mean it, but good diet does help a lot. It's AMAZING how food can affect you! And that goes for anyone.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

I wasn't! It's hereditary for me. My family all has it but FOR SOME REASON I have it worst.

It's absolutely insane the power nutrition has. Insane.

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

Ahhh I see. Well diabetes is hereditary on my dad's side, so warding that off as LONG as possible because there's still risk I could get that, since hypoglycemia is like...a pre-requisite. And after seeing what he's been through (heartattack, gal bladder surg, ankle surg, two massive heart attacks and leg amputation)...I dont's want diabetes.

It is insane.

BTW I totally already started my app on Doc. And I should seriously GO to bed now and finish it later....

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've been told since my pancreas is overactive now, it could just shut down and thus hypo because hyper and BAM diabetes. FUN FUN :| I don't want it either, noooooo.

I started my Morrigan app! I am going to bed too omg.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHHAHHAA I was reading through the blood sugar tag and I found a post where I rejoice because a candy bar didn't make me sick. I remember that day. THAT WAS A GOOD DAY.

I should so link to these comments when people ask me what it feels like.

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

Oh hahaha. I've had a few of those, but those are few and far between kinds of occasions. I like cake too, and sugary drinks but afterward I can get so hyper its freaky. I start talking a mile a minute, bouncing...like literally bouncing for no apparent reason....

Oh you should. You so should, this has been informative and somewhat comfortable. I don't think I'm talking crazy shit out my ass and people thinking I'm making it up.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

Oh the hyper before the crash. Yep. Yepperdoodle. I laugh and can't stop and make people stare at me in terrified wonder. I actually don't really like cake much. Well...I don't like the frosting because the crash is almost immediate. It's a learned dislike because I like the taste! I just hate the way it makes me feel. But banana cake is awesome and I know how to be more careful with it so that helps!

You absolutely are not. Everything you've said is something I've been through!

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

Oh the laughing is creepy, but yes I've done that too. Giggling like some little kid, skipping and grinning manically. It's strange. Then as soon as that starts BAM you feel like you're gonna throw up.

I'm not much for chocolate actually. And now it just hit me the reason you prolly DO have probs with red meat. My dad does too actually. Sometimes a burger or baked potato can make you crash as fast as a slice of cake or pie. There's something in the mix that just doesn't agree with some people's sugars. The fastest thing for me that I've learned to use when it crashes so low is an apple or orange juice. Then there's the sugar under your tongue thing. Mmmm...pumpkin pie I could NEVER live without. NEVER. Any pumpkin spice/flavored anything I must have!

Oh that's fantastic, really, and see if it wasn't for Circe's 'Lara come be our Patroclus' then I never would have found all that out and stuffs. So thank you Circe if you're reading! ^^

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

Ugh, YES.

I'm not as big on chocolate as some people either. It's just kind of eh for me.

Juice works well for me, but I have to back it up with something not sugary or I'll crash again. It's just...ugh.

Hurrah for Circe :D

[pretty-kozi.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's a trend then, and not just us? Hahaha. NO CHOCOLATE. WOOOOHOOOO.

Oh yeah, I get you there.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_honeyspider/]

That's right. I'm fuckin' AWESOME.

[artemisofluna.livejournal.com]

That was never in doubt from my end, Gorgeous!

*Bows down to the Circe* XD
