ASK GINGER - My energy is zonked when my blood sugar is all over the place?

Hey Ginger, I know that blood sugars that aren't in control, like a low blood sugar, can make you feel really tired, and highs make me feel pretty groggy. My energy is just totally zonked when my blood sugars are all over the place. If I wake up with a high bs then I don't even wanna get out of bed! But I had a question about whether it's...

Interview with Heidi the EMT -- What Happens During Blood Sugar Emergencies?

So far, I’ve never had to call an ambulance (or had one called for me) to treat a severe low or high blood sugar situation. (My father drove me to the hospital during a snowstorm during my DKA experience). But you never know, I may need to someday in the future...and I wanted to know what exactly that ambulance crew is going to be... Read more Chevron
