Today’s prompt is to write a six sentence story. Since I’m just coming up from a low, I thought hypoglycemia would be a good topic.
Originally I felt shaky when I was low; my parents would say my face got very pale. Over the years my symptoms changed and got more subtle. When I was pregnant, I started yawning as my blood glucose was dropping – this still happens. Now it’s hard to explain my low symptoms. I sometimes see flashy lights (not flashing lights), and other times it’s just this foggy brain feeling. I feel very fortunate, above all, that I always wake up when I’m low during the night.
Well, that was certainly not an exciting six sentence story. The take-home, though, is that symptoms of hypoglycemia change over time, and it’s important to stay in tune with your body. How have your symptoms changed?
