Ah, the weekend!

That's me, Gayle. I have found out that I do so much better without carbs. My blood sugar drops like a rock if I eat many carbs or much sugar. I carry peanut m&m's so that I get the sugar and protein together. I have learned to identify that feeling and catch it quick..if I don't, I'm done for because mine goes SO low.

Thanks so much, Gayle. I really appreciate your advice. Like you said....I'm learning. I just need to pay more attention to the signs when they first start and eat regularly.

I already take half of 5 mg. so I think that I'll just not take it at all when I go out and see what happens.

I think that's a good idea, Diana! After the first time "out" without taking the 5mg, check your blood sugar when you get home and see what it is. If it is too high, then you may have to eat more "carefully" while out - focus on lean protein and complex carbs (vegetables). If you eat very carefully while out, and it is still high when you get home (although I don't think it will be), then you'll know you need to take the 5 mg, but you will need to eat very regularly while out and you'll need to carry candy as a backup.

My ex-husband had that problem and my daughter (his daughter) has the problem also. It is very maddening!!! Hooray for peanut m&m's!
