I Trust my Dad over some Endocrinologist

Picture
Well as you know I am a Type 1 Diabetic, also known as Juvenile Diabetes. I have been a diabetic since I was nine years old, about 34 years ago. I have tremendous support from my family especially my dad, Willie Thompson Jr. My dad made sure I learned to take care of myself. I can say I trust my dads words over some of my pass Endocrinologists.  My dad knew how much insulin I needed if I was on a sliding scale. My blood level most of the time ran low and so I have an up hill and down hill battle keeping it from dropping to quickly than rising sharply. I remember when I was young the ritual for me when I went into a low insulin reaction was forcing me to drink a large cup of orange juice and 1 cup of sugar or more. I am flabbergasted that I did not gain weight terribly growing up. I finally received information in my mid twenties that I needed protein and a carbohydrate to equalize my level instead of consuming nothing but sugar, which will spick my blood level up. I of course did not believe this and continued  to drink my proof that it will work drink. But getting older you body changes and I had always the problem losing weight even if I exercise everyday. So I took the new routine,  it did work when I had the protein and carb combo if I had that type of food. I don't carry extra snacks so I always runs a risk of my blood level dropping.

I used to have extreme insulin reactions were I knew what was happening but I could communicate what was wrong with me. I slur my words and I could not move or I could not control my movement in order to treat my reaction. If I was by myself I would struggle to  crawl to the refrigerator to grab any food I could reach. I would not have the coordination to control what I was holding or trying to open. It is amazing to know what you need to do but your brain won't allow you to do it. I sometimes felt paralyzed but knew and felt my extremities moving but was uncontrollable. 

If you had a bad reaction could you please comment me. Not too many Diabetics gets this way. My body does not shake or have tingles in the hands. I sometimes see patches or colors and  I may get a metallic taste in my mouth, but not the tall tell signs  a diabetic get when their blood level drops low.
 

    If you have experienced an insulin reaction how bad was it? And what did you do?
