Well, that was a barrel of fun.
Type 1 (juvenile) diabetic.
Ate late last night.
Ate a pot gummy while listening to some tunes.
Forget to shoot insulin. Went to sleep. Woke up with glucose at 310. Shot normal basil dose of long term insulin. Shot 1/2 normal dose of pre-breakfast short term bolus.
Took the garbage out (which is a 30 minute job around here because I do a bunch of other stuff routinely on garbage day), then worked on some yard clean-up for about 30 minutes.
Started feeling sick. Looked at the remaining mulch pile. Looked like it was undulating.
Uh oh.
Sat right down on the driveway and started laughing hysterically. Tried not to pass out, but I think I might have for a few seconds. Sat there for awhile, came in the house, puked. Glucose dropped from 310 to 72 in only one hour. 72 is not dangerously low, but the rate of the drop was dangerous.
EVERY time I do ANYTHING except sit still in a chair, my glucose drops like that. It's a pain in the ass. Now, my brain is going to be all scrambled up for about 6 hours.
YAYYYYYY!!!!
I'm sure some of you Type 1s out there can relate.
Have a nice day.

I just slip up sometimes...happens to us all.
I saw a meme last night that a high level techie has no computer equipment newer than 2004 printer. And they keep a loaded gun ready to shoot the printer if it makes a funny noise 
I was looking for memes for Sunday and found this:
I found the opposite of a sugar daddy
Screen shot of a medical report says, "Patient has an insulin pimp."
For your kind words.
I certainly hope that your glucose levels are on target now.
I dumped out expired or nearly expired food from fridge since the city trash bins go to the curb today/tonight.
Whew!
I cleared out the fridge a few weeks ago! About 12 glass bottles rinsed out and recycled. I'm glad you got yours cleaned out.
Had another low this afternoon. Alarms going off for 90 minutes, even after I ate a bunch of food from a bakery today. It's crazy! 
Whew!
So in a sense, I'm responsible for three separate refrigerators.
I'm so sorry that it's chronic highs and lows with your glucose. It's got to be so frustrating.
Whew!
I bet you are good at keeping things organized!
My problem is...even with my reading glasses, it takes me a long time to decipher the expiration dates. So, it takes me a long time. Then I do my best to clean out the glass bottles and recycle them. Sometimes though, depending on what is in the bottle/jar, I end up just throwing the bottle out if it is too hard to clean out. That's rare though.
I don't know how I would feel about cleaning out someone else's fridge. I give you high praise for doing so.
Yes, the glucose is very frustrating. It messes with my emotions. I do my best to roll with it, but sometimes it hits me: "This is some serious shit and I better get my act together". My a1C is pretty good though, and my practitioner says I'm doing good, so...I'll take it. The correct mindset for this is "This thing wants me dead, and I have to slow it down".
It's the lows that are really bad for you. Being high for a few hours won't kill you...but being low for a few hours can kill you pretty quickly.
Whew!
Thanks, Niagara.
My client overbuys food. She doesn't look in the fridge to see what she already has and doesn't look at the expiration dates. She goes by her previous grocery list and so she overbuys. It's deli style tuna, deli style roasted salmon, deli boiled eggs and it all just gets jammed into the fridge without any type of order or most importantly expiration dates.
I feel like it's my duty to keep her safe from getting sick from bad or spoiled food. About 3 weeks ago she gave me permission to trash what I felt that needed to go and it was an insane amount of expired food that I trashed. She uses 3 full sized pull out drawers in her fridge, the rest of the food in the fridge is other members of the household items.
I placed items that need to eaten in certain order in all 3 drawers with the first drawer being "eat first" drawer and the second drawer being "eat second" and then the third drawer is "you've got some time yet".
The last time I wanted to go through her fridge she didn't want me to. She has days like that and that's okay. I'll try to sweet talk her the next time.
In my secondary fridge, I use several of those plastic soda can holders on the top shelf. I store block cheese, shredded cheese, cottage cheese and pepperoni, things like that. Super easy to see and it doesn't get "lost" in the fridge being placed in the soda can holders.
The main fridge is the disaster area but it's not where the majority of my food goes. Also leftovers goes in this fridge inside lidded containers and I call "science experiments" that I have to clean out. I don't know why anyone saves foo that they don't eat but there we have it. LOL!
Yes, Diabetes is quite a challenge with the glucose levels. I remember a few times when I was a kid and my mom was face down on the floor from low glucose. Quite frightening to witness as a kid.
Whew!
"science experiments". 
That's perfect!
Maybe you should come here and clean out my fridge! I'm tasked with doing that here, and I also clean out the food pantry.
Last time I did that (last year), I was finding stuff from 2019!
I'm sorry to read that you saw your mom like that as a child. I'm thinking how scary that must have been for you, and for her too.
You keep up your good work, Niagara. Sounds like you do a great job!
Whew!
I'll take a look and remove a lid and see mold on leftover food that someone just had to save. Then I'll say later, "Btw, I threw away some of your science experiments from the fridge."
I'm getting really good at going through pantries and fridges so I can always help you if you need it. Yes, throw out that stuff from 2019! It's always a good idea to go through the fridge.
I really should go through the main fridge this weekend. I'll see how much laundry I need to do this weekend. You'd be proud of me, I broke down 3 Amazon boxes from the house and put them in the recycling today!
It was very scary. So when you talk about low glucose levels that's what image I get inside my head. People face down on the floor not being able to move or to able to get up.
I forgot to reply you're welcome to you in an earlier post, so you're welcome!
And thank you so much, Lucky. I do what I can for people.
Whew!
My Beta cells crapped out about 10 years ago. I can certainly relate. I began chasing the lawnmower at 150mg/dl. I thought I'll be good. I mowed for 38 minutes and just as I finished my pump alarmed 79. I went in the house and hopped my pump stopping basal would bring me up.
Dropped to 60 ate 8 g glucose- not good enough dropped to 47, ate 2 more tabs and it began rising slowly to 76. I then ate dinner.
Lucky, take care of yourself. The good news is they cured mice of T1😆
Soon to switch to a G7, because the G6 is being discontinued.
I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I hate the alarms, but I don't know how I ever got along without it.
Best wishes to your brother, and to you.
