Newsflash! When my sugars are crashing, watch out. Man, I am a bitch.
I'm currently eating a bowl of white bean soup - hoping that I come up out of this low. I felt wonky at about 5:15pm, about one hour and fifteen minutes after eating some "chicken pot pie" that my MIL had at her house. That translates to one half of a biscuit and some veggies in a gravy-like base, and although it was homemade, it was a real food - and we know what real food does to me. Crash and burn. In the interest of full disclosure, I also had one half of a pecan divinity (two bites worth) that I picked up at the register at the candy store with my daughter, where she picked up Cry-Baby Sours.
So, yeah. I started losing my mind - my words got ass-backwards for a moment, and I tested. 62 mg. Not as low as I thought it might have been for how fast the feeling was hitting. Instead of going for sugar, I went for food - a bowl of white bean soup that I made - because I'm not home alone and I could be trusted to not drop dead right now.
