| Introduction | My name is Lori, I have been a Type 1 Diabetic since 1991, I was 15 at Diagnosis. At age 22, when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, I began losing my ability to sense when my sugars were dropping. As the years have passed I have lost about 90% of my ability to detect lows and just shy of 100% of my ability to detect highs. Both of which are very dangerous for a Diabetic. I have had so many near death experiences due to lows, I once dropped as low as 18 mg/dl. While high sugars are not as immediately dangerous, they can lead to very serious complications later on. So my not recognizing when my sugar is high is JUST as dangerous as when I am low, even if it is not immediately evident. |
