Glad he's stable. A friend of mine used to keep cans of frosting, because her sugar levels were prone to bottoming out. When she'd get low like that, she'd grab a spoonful or two of frosting.

Paydays melt? Go figure! So many preservatives I thought they were like velveta cheese and would last forever in your pocket/purse or in the trunk of your car!

I do know that they have packets of glucose gel you can carry with you.

In the rehab center where I used to work, we kept orange juice and cheese or peanut butter sandwiches on hand for hypoglycemia. The OJ for a fast boost, high protein to stabilize. We also had IV glucose for emergency situations which occurred once when a patient's blood sugar dropped to 4.

It's pretty amazing to see an unconscious person's eyes pop open and them start to talk to you like they just woke up from a restful nap when a few minutes before they were literally at death's door.

My brother had a diabetic episode at a restaurant during breakfast. I was sitting across from him and noticed he had food on his fork but, never got it to his mouth. I asked him if his blood sugar was low and he said he had checked it before coming over and it was fine.

Maybe then it was but I knew better. I went up to manager and said my brother needs an ambulance, he is diabetic. Medics came fast. Asked him a few questions like where was he, what day, he passed that. When they asked his name he just smiled at them. They checked his blood and had him drink some orange juice and checked again. They decided he needed to go to the ER. My father followed in his car, so he could bring him home if discharged early.
I walked home.

Fast forward - my brother got stabilized and released. He had to drive his car home from the restaurant. When he got home he tore into me - up one side and down the other. If I had called a ???different ambulance service his insurance would have covered it. But the way this worked he would be charged. Just totally nasty to me. I told him I would pay for the ambulance.

I told him while he was at it, it would be nice if he gave ME a list of the many meds he is on so I could have told the medics.(also doctor's names). This was many years ago and he still hasn't given me a list. He refuses to wear those ID bracelets that list what health conditions he has.
What is it with men?????? Our father was the same way.

BTW I am no longer interested in Idris Elba, he has been married too many times and "other things" too many times.

I decided Bradley Cooper is who I really want. He is smart, sensitive, very caring and loves his mother. Perfect in every way. For him I would wear full makeup, probably wig, and dress much better than jeans and shirt.
