#140: How to Ground Yourself When Your Blood Sugar Tanks

As with so many other things in the world of type 1 diabetes, the experience of a low is impossible to understand unless you've actually had one. To top it off, some people have low symptoms that are not listed in a textbook or on any website.

Edwin is one of those people. In addition to all of the "normal" low symptoms, Edwin also experiences some dark thoughts when he is low and his mind takes him to some scary places. These thoughts affect his mood, even after his physical symptoms are gone.

In this episode, I coach Edwin on how he can deal with these dark thoughts when he is low. We talk about some practical strategies he can use to help him recover quickly, both physically and emotionally, from his lows.
