Is this possible?

thanks, everyone!

i always just dose based on carb counting for what i'm eating.... i dont' check at all to see what it was before the food. and, even when i dose for what i'm eating, i often take a lot less insulin than the 15 for 1 unit since i often bottom out when i do that. the docs think my panreace is secreting some insulin, though "sluggish", so i'm maybe more of a borderline case. also, if i'm working out regularly, i can usually control it more with much less insulin.

either way, i checked my meter with the control solution last night and it was right on! so, i guess i do get bragging rights (LOL)... and yeah, mel, i totally agree we ARE some tough cookies!!! i think it odd that something that effects us (low blood sugar, low O2 sats, etc.) maybe go a little more unnoticed cause our bodies are used to just being a little "off". not saying that's a good thing, but it should at the very least give us a gold star. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Ladybug,

Keep in mind too to make sure to have a lot of salt when you work out. I know your blood sugar was low, but to me your symptoms sound more like a lack of salt coupled with dehydration. It happened to me once and I couldn't think straight. My head felt like it was going to explode and I almost went down on the subway. Luckily I got myself home and took a nap. I didn't feel better though until I woke up and my sister made me eat pretzels and drink gatorade. Then I was back to normal. And by BS was in the normal range the whole time so I know it wasn't that.

I think people forget sometimes about how important salt intake is with workouts and well as properly hydrating. So just a friendly reminder!
