  • strange new lows

    Today, I started out at 87 before my meal of one baked chicken thigh, a salad with mostly spinach, but chopped tomato, onion, carrots, Ranch dressing, etc., and a gig serving of cauliflower. One hour and 30 minutes later, I started feeling low. Tested and was 62. I just finished a bowl of Kashi cereal with milk, 30 minutes later still feel low, but I am 67. Only now, the low is strange. I am seeing strange blue and yellow flashes of light. I have had a blurry vision before, but never this. I also could not get the words out to tell Pat, I thought I needed help. I pointed to the fridge and he pulled milk out and asked if it was what i wanted, and then said how about cereal, and I nodded. I ate the cereal and feel enough better to write this, but am looking through very blurred vision and the lights are still there. Never had all this happen before at the same time, and have always recovered quickly after eating about anything. Just tested again and now at 60…going to find the glucose tabs. Don’t know what is going on.
