I am so freaked out right now. I did my Ronald last/vintage park (1) loop and absolutely could not finish the run W/o walking the last .4 of a mile. It reminded me of those last days 2010 before I knew about my blood sugar problem. I was terrified I was going to pass out crossing the intersection on University Ave. So I walked home and when checked my blood sugar. It was 36. That is a new record low.  I am so lucky I didn't have a seizure. I have GOT to EAT before I go out. No excuses anymore.

Also concerning is the fact that 5 minutes after I ate 1/2 cup my special hypoglycemic 7 grain cereal/steel cut oat/fruit/agave concoction I blood tested again and my blood sugar was at 102 (which, while normal for most people, is extraordinarily high for me).  I usually can't get over 90 without eating candy.

I am so discouraged right now. I thought I fnally had it all figured out.  My foot is healing, I thought I was eating properly. I can't understand how to make my liver and pancreas work right.
