How can I recognize when someones having low blood sugar levels?
When someone is having a low blood sugar reaction, they generally start off with a higher blood sugar level and fall to a lower blood sugar level. And during that fall, outside observers can often tell that it’s happening, and oftentimes better than the patient can. So say it’s your husband or your wife, and you know that when they get, or start to get a low blood sugar reaction they act a little bit spacey, or they put the milk in the cupboard, or they just sort of aren’t quite right, or they get a little shakey or a little slurred, you can recognize that and ask them to check a blood sugar reaction. Part of the problem with this is of course, is that sometimes one is right, and sometimes one is wrong and if somebody’s a little bit irritable and you test their sugar and they just happen to be irritable, then it is a problem. But the point is that people from the outside can often tell.
