Group 7-day waking average?

[Kaylz]

You’ve unfortunately fulfilled my prediction Kaylz because I’d wanted to post this morning and advise you to take sweets or something in case you went low with all the rushing about but thought twice about it because of your issues with eating beyond your comfort zone.
How did you handle going low? Did you have something to take?

Vince won’t care at all about the bread, he’ll only be too concerned for you! 😱

If I'm totally honest with you guys I had a feeling something like this would happen I started feeling a bit shaky so sat on a kick stool and got my kit out, blood not easy to obtain as hands were absolutely freezing, felt like a freak as all the other shoppers and staff were staring at me was 4.3 then so I had a soft mint as mum had them in her pocket, got up paid for my armful of stuff (while still shaking and the guy serving was looking at me oddly) then felt worse and was down to 3.9, a jelly baby and a 15 minute wait got me to 4.7 but its the first time this has happened in full blown public and I feel so embarrassed xx

Sounds very difficult for you and hope,you are feeling better now. The feeling of embarrassment will go away, maybe it was so strong as first time in public. I am sure people around weren't judging you but I can understand you felt they were. As someone who has often had hypos in public, once when giving a talk and even last night on the plane, I assure you it does get easier. Sending hugs.

Now, that's one of the few things I can think of where it's an advantage to be old. You get past being embarrassed! I can well remember the feeling when I was in my twenties, that everyone was looking at me, and I was making a spectacle of myself. Reel forwards 40 years, and I now realise that everyone else is actually so wrapped up in themselves and their own lives, that although they may give you a second glance if you're doing something slightly unusual, they'll have forgotten about it by the time they've turned the corner. Nowadays, it's my daughter (aged 25) who'll say, 'Mum, stop embarrassing me!' or 'Shh, you're talking too loud!' when I don't give a fig!

@New-journey and @Robin thanks? It's the 2nd time it's happened when I've been with the mother in law! Lol xx

@Vince_UK I am so so sorry but I never managed to get a look at the bread etc

I had every intention to BUT we were at B&M's and I went low so had to recover etc and then felt like utter c**p so Aldi was just a quick in and out, I'm so sorry as I feel like I have let you down xx

@Kaylz Hope you are feeling better now K, I sincerely do.
Don't worry I appreciate the thought 🙂
Of course you have not let me down. Your well-being is more important than anything else and especially bread.
The bread can wait your health cannot.
B&M is a great store to lol
You take care K and PLEASE DO NOT thnk of it.

@Amigo @wirralass
Let you into a little secret Ladies but PLEASE don't tell anyone, SSSSHHHH Mums the word ok?
This is highly classified , "Top Secret". information for "For Your Eyes Only".
I have one here in Shanghai for when I go to the local supermarket, bought it when I lived here 2010-2013. Blue one.
Got sick of humping stuff from Carrefour in plastic bags which literally cut into my fingers so I thought a trolley was an excellent idea.
I don't need a "Driver licence" here for one either.
Wouldn't dare use one in Newcastle. Wouldn't give me any street cred points at all.
🙄
Actually I acquired 2 lol.
1 I bought the other was a freebie wth some promotion or other which they constantly run here. I gave the free one away to an old lady who lives in the complex. because it was Pink and I draw the line at hauling a Pink shopping trolley through the streets of Shanghai.

 

[Ditto]

I never go anywhere without mine. It's all battered and I keep the lid shut with one of them stretchy things off a bike. Real bag lady I am. So don't care...I lean on it and it stops me falling over but there's always the chance I may go asp over tip one of these day when I go a bit urgent down a curb.

 

[Vince_UK]

Has happened to many of us Kaylz - I’m sure Vince won’t mind at all. Having a nasty low when out and about is no fun at all. Live and learn eh 🙂 sorry you felt grim afterwards - don’t blame you for cutting the rest of the trip short.

@everydayupsanddowns
Correct Mike I only hope Kaylz has fully recovered now. I really do appreciate her kind offer.
I cannot begin to comprehend how difficult sometimes life must be for T1's in everyday tasks.

Please don't feel embarrassed about it @Kaylz {{{HUGS}}} I find that having hypos whilst out and about often increase your feelings about them at the time - you can feel more vulnerable, you are aware that you are 'not yourself'. I tend to feel quite irritated by the people around me and that all eyes are on me, but this is more than likely just because your befuddled brain isn't perceiving things as they normally would. You handled things well, and your experience will help you to handle the next time even better 🙂

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 A slightly improved 6.9 for me (blood) versus 5.3 on Libre.

 

[Ljc]

Hope you all have a great day.

 

[Ljc]

Woke to 6.2 with a wavy line.

 

[Bloden]

It's like a cross between a scone and a rock bun I think it's a Yorkshire thing. Not supposed to call them Fat rascals anymore as Betty's trademarked them even though they've been around for a few hundred years

Cheeky Betty’s!

Morning all.🙂 4.1 here.

I hate those out n about hypos, @Kaylz. You have all my sympathy.

 

[Kaylz]

Morning everyone 🙂 still have the headache from hell but hopefully that will pass as the day goes on, must remember don't get excited about going shopping and don' inject in thigh when due to spend the rest of the afternoon on your feet! If only I'd thought before I might have avoided the whole embarrssing drama, anyways a 5.3 for me today, hope you all have a lovely day! xx

 

[Greyhound Gal]

Morning all. It's a 4.6 for me today on yet another wet morning.

 

[New-journey]

Morning all, 5.4 and so tired, will be a resting day for me.
Have a good Sunday all.

 

[Amberzak]

14.1 for me. I woke up to find my canula had come out in the night. To be honest I’m impressed it wasn’t higher.
