The problem with having a bad health that includes Diabetes and Panic Disorder is that sometimes you don’t know if you’re experiencing a panic attack or low blood sugar. Patrice just went to the pharmacy to get me more test strips for the glucometer so I can check if I’m having an episode of hypoglycemia because I’m feeling like poop… I want my mommy. I just had a candy and if in 15 minutes I don’t feel better I think I’ll have to call for help… Darn!

Update (15 minutes after): Patrice didn’t actually understand I needed the strips NOW and I think he went to run other errands before coming back. His cellphone is closed and I’m getting absolutely pissed! Not to mention I don’t feel better and I don’t know what to do. Walking to the pharmacy is not an option if I’m having low blood sugar… Ugh! My mother in law is not in town and I don’t have anyone else to call! 911 that is, if I don’t feel better soon… God, I’m scared!

Update 2 (1 hour after): Patrice arrived with the strips, my blood sugar is at 4.6 which is normal/low, after eating the candy; there is no way to know how low it was before, but for sure it was low to the point of making me feel sick. I’m glad it’s within the normal range now and it’s time to ingest protein, a glass of milk, as indicated.

I invite you to get informed about Diabetes and if you have Diabetics in your family or your group of friends, learn about the disease and ways to be helpful in case help is needed. Your loved ones can be in danger.
