I know too well what the consequences of a missed low can be. All you can really do is file this away in your mind for reference later. Hang in there, and don’t stress out over things you can’t change, work on what you CAN change!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856564.post-1161881337527696662006-10-26T11:48:00.000-05:002006-10-26T11:48:00.000-05:00Sandra, I think the most insidious lows are the on...Sandra, I think the most insidious lows are the ones you 'slide' into. The ones that come on over 30 minutes or so and you don't realize what's happening but gradually behaviors change. I can't always catch these in myself much less expect others to see what's going on.<BR/><BR/>As the others said, don't beat yourself up over missing these subtle symptoms, just try to be aware (and I know you Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290126384874472887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856564.post-1161872771400898532006-10-26T09:26:00.000-05:002006-10-26T09:26:00.000-05:00There were no bad assumptions here - just logical ...There were no bad assumptions here - just logical conclusions based on prior data during the course of the day.

Grrrrr...)<BR/><BR/>I'm with Nicole on this one. There have been several times when my normally abnormal behavior has prevented me or my friends from acknowledging a low blood sugar. It's scary to miss those cues. <BR/><BR/>But it happens. It may happen again, too. You are taking exquisite care of your son.

This diabetes jerk is. <BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up at all Sandra. <BR/><BR/>I don't know how many times a low bloodsugar has slipped past because I - by nature - have a sort of wacky personality and people assume it's just me - being wacky.
