Well last night was fun......

So I woke up around 3:00am with blinding pain in my stomach. I get this every so often and normally going to the bathroom makes everything better. So off I go, only I must have also woken up because I was rather low, because very shortly after getting to the bathroom, I felt REALLLLLYYYY low. And of course this wasn't helped by the fact that I could barely think for the pain in my stomach.

Now usually when I go low in the middle of the night, my muscles don't really have anything fueling them, so it's rather difficult to get up the stairs to where my skittles are, but this time it was so bad, all I could do was sit there leaning against the towel rung going lower and lower and lower. Meanwhile, my wits were also getting slower and slower. I didn't seem to be confused as some diabetics are when they go really low, but I certainly didn't have my priorities in the right spots.. I definitely thought that going to the bathroom was way more important than not passing out. So finally my slow brain decided on yelling for my mum to go get me something to eat. Somehow I managed to find the energy to go unlock the bathroom door and there was my mum with the whole entire sugar container and a spoon.
By this time, I was boiling hot and my pyjamas were drenched. Also, my ears were buzzing so loudly that I could barely hear anything and they were really, really hot. In fact, you could feel the heat coming out of my ears just by putting your fingers close to my ears. (Not entirely sure why that was happening)

By the time we finally actually checked my blood sugar, I was at 8, which was really high considering I should have been somewhere around 1 (normal is between 4 and 7). So I'm not actually sure if I didn't ever go low at all (which makes this entire episode ridiculously hard to explain) or if my liver kicked in and dumped all its glucose into my blood stream.

I'm actually really curious to see how low I actually was and therefore how close I was to passing out and having seizures. :S Scary thought. I sure hope THAT doesn't happen again.
