Today, I passed out when my blood sugar dropped. Three times. And each time, my roommate, who was right next to me, just let me fall because he liked the way my face looked. FML

Did your butt hurt each time you woke up?

Damn OP, you need to keep a Blood sugar monitor nearby to prevent future incidents. Maybe you can keep it in a black pouch that looks like a change purse.

Punch him in the face cos you like the way it looks

Assuming that you were previously aware that this could happen to you, ydi for not eating on a regular schedule. You were kind of asking for it. If this has never happened before, you still deserve the second and third times for not eating. Your roommate isn't your babysitter. Take care of yourself

Not at all pleasant. I must say that my head aches severely now.

and it wasn't a matter of not eating. I ate fine, it's a matter of sometimes your body freaks out, an you can't help it. And it happened all on the same moment. as soon as I got up to go get my meds, id fall out again. that being said, it's not like I planned this, actually, I had just eaten, but as it's been said, sometimes your body freaks out. And yes I hit my head every-time. no it didn't knock sense into me, it just made me lay down until I could feel my body again and walk to the house to take are of the problem.

Exactly. Even after eating something, the effects don't kick in immediately. Whenever I eat something to 'fix' my low blood sugar, it takes at least 10 minutes for me to feel energized enough to move and eat something else.

have you looked into getting a continuous glucose monitor? if this is a frequent problem, it could be really helpful.

It's never been a true problem before. I think it was part to do with the heat, and stress of the day. I had just eaten, and my sugars were fine, but after sitting out there and talking with him I fell out, and I'd only be up 2 or 3 seconds before I went down again.

why didn't you just eat something the first time, smarts.

That must have been one attractive face.

dumbass. and you my girl r anorexic. u just let it drop thrice??? just go down to Dunkin donuts and buy urself a nice, thick-icing donut.

She's not necessarily anorexic, dumb-ass. Even if she was, she's not going to eat a donut because you told her to. Do you have any idea how anorexia works?

How can you assume me to be anorexic? I eat often enough, and manage my weight quite well. I didn't pass out from not eating. I passed out from a sudden drop in sugar. Cripes. it didn't happen on three settings, it happened all in one go, and each time I got up to help myself, I simply fell out again. Steph has a good head on her shoulders. it's a pancreatic disorder that makes my insulin spike, an paired with hypoglycemia and the stress and heat of the day, I met with nothing more than poor circumstances. you people keep saying I need to take better care of myself, but really. there wasnt much I could do at that point but fall on my face enough tomes to realize I couldn't get up right away, calm myself, and slowly make my way to a blood meter, and some snacks.

Well said, dude. I can't get over how many people get off on assuming. It's rarely what they assume anyway as there are so many possibilities. Anyhow, glad to see you're doing better. Passing out like that is not something your roommate should have taken lightly. I am wondering if it's a roommate you were living with in a college/university dorm, or in an apartment unrelated to school, though. If it's the former, see if you can switch. You never know...
