You Tube Tuesday #170 - Making the Low Go

Since it is both You Tube Tuesday and Diabetes Blog Week I think I found a way to take care of both. Here it goes…

 

Day 2 – Making the low go. Tell us about your favorite way to treat a low. Juice? Glucose tabs? Secret candy stash? What’s your favorite thing to indulge in when you are low? What do you find brings your blood sugar up fast without spiking it too high?

Typically during the day I just use glucose tabs for lows. Orange glucose tabs to be exact. I have tried sour apple which makes me pucker long before I can chew the thing up. I have tried grape which makes me sick! YUCK! (this picture is from the Mall of America when I had a low. Scott only had Grape tabs and I had a tough time not spitting them out.) So Orange is the flavor we go with.

During the middle of the night when I know I need something to last a while, even after a few tabs, I go with my favorite thing. Sure I wake up high the next day but these round yummy warm pucks of goodness make waking up at 2:15 in a sweaty shaky mess not so bad.

Instead of having a typical random video I thought it would be more fun to do a quick vlog post from my home away from home, Minnesota!

As you probably know I have been here to visit with my buddy Scott and his family. I'll write more about my vacation in the coming days.

Make you sure you watch until the end! ENJOY!

The Consumer Electronic Show is awesome. I have had the pleasure of attending a few of these conventions in Las Vegas and it is Geek Heaven.

This man was at CES in 2009 and he rocks.

Enjoy.

You Tube Tuesday #167

When I was growing up we were pretty strapped for cash. I didn't have all the cool toys my friends had. My sisters and I would make up games, climb the tree out front, go on hikes, make up skits and shows for my parents, and basically entertain ourselves.

Every summer we loved to play in the sprinklers and since we could not afford to buy a Slip N Slide, we made our own out of trash bags we cut down the sides and held in the lawn with tent stakes, screw drivers, and the occasional brick. One would be in charge of the hose while the others slipped and slid across the make shift water ride.

It was awesome.

Check out these firemen using their mega hose to help make this slip and slide the most awesome thing I have seen in a while. I wish I could have a go down that hill! 

Enjoy!
