12:51 am

grannyrose

btw, yesterday i found out what a hypo feels like.

12:52 am

sprite

ouch, that is not fun

12:56 am

grannyrose

i had a headache after the session in the pool. didn't think much of it really. usual stop for some hot fries at KFC on way home. had already had TWO boiled sweets. got home. still headachy. okay, lets check BGL's. after two sweets, and chips, BGL was only 6.2 so made a sandwich filled with ham, tomato, and avocado. headache finally went after that. so now i know, headache like that check BGL's. * sigh *

12:57 am

sprite

yeah, worth checking. Always bring some... errrr... let me look it up. Grape sugar.

12:58 am

sprite

dextrose

1:00 am

grannyrose

yes, that's it. in the car is okay as we always carry the boiled sweets, but now i know maybe three or four sweets, not just the two. but we must put some cans of sugar-sweetened soda in the fridge so i can get a sugar fix fast.

1:01 am

sprite

I would still prefer the dextrose. Gets into the blood faster plus you know how much you take in.

1:03 am

grannyrose

is that what is in glucogels?

1:03 am

sprite

no idea. Here you can buy dextrose as tablets. Let me send you a pic

1:04 am

grannyrose

oh okay. will check those out.

1:05 am

dizgrannie

FWs

1:05 am

sprite

also, honey, if it takes that much to get back on track, you might want to do a regular test a few times a day for a while. Can't let it go untreated if it is a constant thing.

1:06 am

grannyrose

i hear you. getting some more stickers and test strips tomorrow.

1:06 am

sprite

8:38 am

BzznBea

Mine is continuing to break out. Have a derm appt on Monday.

8:38 am

rururocks

rash?

8:38 am

hokie carla

I think mine was an allergic dermatitis from cocoa butter. bea's sounds worse.

8:39 am

BzznBea

Blistery stuff. Not poison ivy. Not shingles.

8:39 am

rururocks

poison oak bea?

8:40 am

hokie carla

have you had shingles bea? I have and that's why I knew mine wasn't that. it's like the pain of 1000 fire ants radiating deep.

8:40 am

BzznBea

No, not plants or animals.

8:40 am

rururocks

then dietary? maybe hives?

8:41 am

hokie carla

I figured bea knows what all the bad plants look like

8:41 am

BzznBea

Nothing has changed in my diet. Its not shingles as it is not on one side.

8:42 am

rururocks

maybe it's all this election stuff just causing iritation

8:42 am

hokie carla

well, I gotta get ready for tennis that will probably be rained out. 37 left and HOET.

8:42 am

Kiani

oh def that

8:43 am

BzznBea

I try to stay away from all that election stuff.

8:43 am

rururocks

I wish I could

8:44 am

BzznBea

I will continue to itch and scratch my way to Monday and see what dermatolgy recommends.

8:44 am

phaeton

9:01 am

ChampFit

I call bullcrap on that! Good grief!!! But thank you Eva.

9:02 am

MollyL

Speaking from painful experience, shingles is "usually" all on one side but can be otherwise. Mine was all over my chest and back.

9:03 am

MollyL

And yes Champ. I will see your bullcrap and raise you a NFW.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

(it was, decidedly, not fun.)

9:05 am

rururocks

oh ouch

9:05 am

aslindy

my sister had it on her face and in her eye. she still has problems with her eye, years later

9:06 am

MollyL

Eva, I know someone who got poison ivy there. Used the wrong plant as toilet paper while camping. Zing!

9:06 am

Kiani

see, this is why I stay inside lol

9:07 am

rururocks

did her boyfriend ask if she was itching to have sex molly?

9:08 am

MollyL

It would be a great way to get back at a crappy boyfriend if she did. Sharing and all that.

9:09 am

rururocks

(likes the fun zone comment)

9:09 am

MollyL

Oh scratch that, poison ivy isn't contagious.

9:10 am

aslindy

not contagious, but if you still have the oil on your skin it can transfer

9:11 am

aslindy

there is no poison ivy at our new house, hooray!

9:12 am

rururocks

I don't think we have poison ivy out here

9:12 am

origami

Poison oak is enough for us

11:27 am

moolingwa

11:27 am

hurshy

i just feel like they told us that was the plural in elementary school

hurshy
