Thirty five

35
Yep, 35.
That's the low my gal just encountered, while getting out of our pool.
Cruised into dinner at a beautiful 107. Ate like a champ. Even dosed for a treat of 2 cookies after dinner.
45 minutes later, in the pool after dinner, she says she is shaky and her tummy hurts.

Crank that meter up, expecting a 50, a 60.
35
Thirty five.
Crying, looking confused, weepy, semi-incoherent 35.

One juice box and two glucose tabs and 15 minutes later
91.

"Mommy, is that the 35 making me forget my words? I forgot I was trying to say 'pool'."

35 - you can go suck it.

35 CAN suck it! I can't imagine what that must feel like to our girls, not being able to remember words. Scary!

PS - My G is working on a letter for your G!

Ugh, 35 is not fun. Last year, one month into diabetes, my daughter got off of the bus from the first day of school unable to string a sentence together. 39. Definitely never want to see that again. Sorry :(

I'm ready to form an angry mob and kick 35's arse! Who's with me!

Glad Grace is ok!

I was seriously hoping to wish you a happy 35th birthday....EEK!!!!! I wasn't expecting that!!!!!!

So happy that 35 was squashed into the ground. Hope things are nice and even-steven right now!!!

OH, and thanks for thinking of us and the GF thing the other day. I totally get your frustration with pizza :) Just wish the "food thing" would be given more consideration on so MANY levels when it comes to this stuff!

I'm with you all. Just off to grab my pitchfork and join the angry villagers' mob.
Hope you are both OK now.
