i was working the early morning shift at the airport as a baggage handler. the shift went smooth. After work i remember getting on the employee bus but i don't remember getting off!!! i had checked my blood sugar and it was 115 at the time one hour after i ate. Well using that energy and the heat dropped my blood sugar. I proceeded to get in my car, leave the parking lot and headed for the airport exit....at a high rate of speed....weaving in and out of traffic like a racecar driver on a track. Taking out mile marker signs as i went. When i finally had enough sense to pull over my blood sugar was at 31. Thank God i knew the police officer because he knew i was diabetic. He notified the ambulance and they took me to a facility. I've been diabetic 25 years at that time and just when you think you know your body it proves you wrong. ALWAYS ALWAYS remember to test your blood sugar....it can't be stressed any better....
