WAS NOT A GOOD NIGHT

AT 4AM I WAS SUDDENLY AWAKE. I DID NOT KNOW WHY. AS I LIE THERE WONDERING I FEEL FUNNY. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? SO I STAY THERE A LITTLE LONGER AND I START TO UNDERSTAND. MY SUGAR MUST BE AWFUL LOW TO WAKE ME. I REALLY DONT WANT TO GET UP BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO WALK IN THIS CONDITION. I WAIT MAYBE 5 MINUTES. I RISE SLOWLY AND NOW I KNOW, IT IS MY SUGAR. I GO VERY SLOWLY TO THE KITCHEN TO TAKE MY COUNT. IT WAS 69. THAT IS LOW FOR ME. VERY LOW. I TAKE A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER AND A COOL DRINK BACK TO THE BEDROOM. I PLOP INTO MY LOUNGER. I STICK A SUGAR PILL (MADE FOR DIABETICS) AND SUCK AWAY. THEN I START TO TAKE SOME PEANUT BUTTER. THERE IS A 15 MINUTE RULE. THAT MEANS AFTER TAKING SOME STUFF, YOU MUST CHECK IT AGAIN. I WAIT ABOUT 35MINUTES. I WAS TOO WEAK TO DO ANYTHING. I DID TAKE MY BLOOD METER AND FINGER STABBER WITH ME. IT WAS NOW 81. I SAT THERE UNTIL 5:30AM. WHEN I WOKE AT 9:30 OR SO I WAS VERY WEAK. I HAD MY BREAKFAST AND JUST LAZED AROUND ALL DAY. I AM FEELING SOMEWHAT BETTER BUT NOT THE BEST..OH WELL THATS LIFE. SEE YA
