That is great for you. <BR/>Jim and I went out to Walmart (found some SW galactic heroes) and he crashed a bit. His blood sugar level must have been really really low and it hit all of a sudden. <BR/>One minute fine, the next telling me he needs some juice. We got to the subway in the walmart, I sat him down and I jumped in line to ask for some OJ. He had that, and I got him a sub and some regular coke. That seemed to help and by the end of the sub he was feeling like himself again.<BR/>But it is scary. The thing the partner of a diabetic must do is stay calm, and realize no matter what is said, it is the low blood sugar talking.<BR/>I say it that way because sometimes even if he knows what it is, jim doesn't want anything. I have to make him take sips to feel better (not today, but other days).<BR/><BR/>It must have really helped you feel better to get out and socialize. To see other faces and to hear other voices. Cabin fever is a dangerous side effect to gout. <BR/><BR/>Take it easy and one day at a time. Maybe I can come down to visit again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
