My name is Brenda. I am 56 years old and I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes within the past year. I'm still learning what to eat and drink. I know I need to reduce my carb intake and I'm learning to read labels for carbs as well as what a serving size is for that particular food.

On Tuesday, my blood sugar took a nosedive while I was at work. My employer called the ambulance which took me to the hospital. I felt awful, weak, dizzy, and exhausted. The ER doctor could not determine why my blood sugar tanked. However, it became stable while I was in the ER so they let me go home.

Tonight will be my first night back to work. What I learned is how I feel when going through a blood sugar low. Not a great feeling at all.
