Diabetes365 day 9 Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - Fire drill
I was sitting at my desk working this morning and the fire alarms went off! What a racket!
Whenever there's a fire alarm at work the first thing I reach for is my diabetes supplies. After that I'll take my camera and personal laptop, but those are a distance second in importance.
There's nothing worse than being stuck in an unusual situation without a means of testing my blood sugar and correcting it if it's low. That's why the diabetes supplies are so essential. If there was a real alarm and we were outside for more than 10 minutes those supplies might make the difference between a single alarm and two!
Over my lifetime with diabetes I've taken many ambulance rides as a result of severe low blood sugars (hypoglycemia). It's never pleasant waking up in a strange place and not knowing how you got there. So diabetes supplies are essential.
Yet another thing to think about because of diabetes. (And another reason why you're not likely to see me on a future episode of Survivor).
