This afternoon I had the strangest thing happen after eating lunch. In all of my 48 years, living with D I don't remember this ever happening. I had eaten lumch, which consisted of a large green salad with some chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers and salad dressing (the real kind of dressing). I also had a half an apple. When I finished I watched tv, thinking I would wait an hour and test to make sure my bg was within safe range before leaving for some errands.

When the hour came to test I felt somewhat strange. I tested and bg was 79 so I took 12 gms of glucose. I tested 30 minutes later and bg was only 81. The 12gms of glucose should have increased my bg more then 2 points. Then I started to feel even stranger. I was looking at tv and the screen looked purple. I dozed off for a few minutes and when I opened my eyes the screen was still purple plus the room seemed darketr and I felt drained. It got to the point that I couldn't move and I didn't try. Several hours laster I continued to feel that way I stayed on the sofa for hours before my eye sight returned to normal.

When I was finally able to move I felt like I had a seriously low incidence of low bg. That type of feeling that leaves you shaky and moving slow. I don't know if anyone has had that type of experience but would like to hear from anyone who has.
