Last Night
I feel awful today.
Last night I woke up at 2:39 in the morning (well, this morning then) because my blood sugar had dropped and I was starting to experience the effects of low blood sugar. It's hard to explain what this process feels like to non-diabetics but imagine shaking all over, being really cold all of a sudden when you shouldn't be cold, and feeling intense anxiety. It was horrible.
Thankfully, I had half a bag of peanuts next to the bed and was able to grab it before things got really bad. I was eating peanuts then falling half asleep only to be woken up again by my body telling me "Nope, still too low. Enter shock mode" Zzzt.
After a little while I started to feel better but the after effects are still visible. I couldn't get out of bed this morning and everyone I see today has greeted me with the phrase "Wow, you look like crap." Thanks guys.

No problem! You look the same every day.
