mdehnersa made up word for something me and many Diabetics suffer from. I didn't realize it till recently. Heck, what do non Diabetics know mainly about Diabetes? to give candy to one of us if we look shaky;>.....
I spend more time arranging my life to prevent something that Objectively would be an EXTREMELY rare occurrence. In the couple of yrs I've been T2 I have NEVER had Low BG. High? Constantly, even with treatment(2 Oral 1 Injectable). Yet, instead I'm obsessively making sure I don't get Low Blood Sugar. You should see my schedule the 2 hrs before bedtime because unlike while I'm awake I can eat something every 2 hrs I've got to load slowly digesting and slow to break down to glucose.....something that has NEVER truly been needed. Except every Bloody thing I've learned or heard of makes me worried that my blood sugars may Crash.
Personally, I think It's actually aggravating my Diabetes. I Believe that if I wasn't so worried about my Sugars dropping that I'd actually have a better general BG and A1C. But it's hard to overcome 50 something yrs of book, tv and cultural baggage.
Oh Well;>....
Cheers,
Pat(who needs no Fiber supplements, believe me;>!)
