Being diabetic and having a low blood sugar isn't always a bad thing...
Like today when I went for my daily soda there was a little custard-filled, chocolate-glazed, doughnut calling my name. I bought it with the thought, "I feel like I may be low and I sorta hope I am!" I was. BG of 49. Ha. Good timing. It was delicious. The pudding is my favorite part.
I wonder sometimes if our psyches get the better of us type-1s because having a low = a treat sometimes. Growing up without being able to eat whenever/whatever treats we wanted, maybe now, subconsciously, our bodies give a little "woo hoo, I'm low, eat something yummy! Screw those icky glucose tabs!"
