I had a really bad low last night. I could barely move. My partner helped me get a juice. What the f would I do without them? I hugged really hard and said “What would I do without you?” This made me think: How do diabetics who live -alone- survive? What if the diabetic has social anxiety and has issues being around other people, so they just can’t live with someone?
It’s so hard to get myself up to go get some sugar when my energy has been zapped by the low, and last night I couldn’t even move my arm to grab the candy beside my bed.
To all the diabetics who live alone and struggle during lows, I feel for you, and hope you are able to get your glucose when you need it.
When my son was diagnosed at 10, his grandpa made him this wooden juice box dispenser that hangs on the wall next to his bed, so he's got juice in easy reach overnight.
Other than that he carries a diabetes kit wherever he goes and has sugar in there all the time, plus we have glucose tabs in the car now that he's driving.
