I actually passed out at work one day several years ago and came to rather quickly.
My boss though I needed to get checked out and off to the doc in a box we went. My blood sugar was so low they thought I was headed into an insulin coma. 2 I.V.s later and I was sent home for the day.
Follow up visits to my regular doc, where we tested for all sorts of stuff, (diabetes included) revealed my current state.
I learned a lot.
It is not like they show you in movies;
(Guy has low sugar,
Falls asleep walking in the mall.)
I can tell when my sugar drops. I get light headed and, if its real bad, a little nauseous.

Thank You for the tip Ryland,
I will try that.
Currently I am going to use up the Gatorade I have and then will use or modify your tea for later use.
My original plan was just to start making my own form of Gatorade any way.
I love lemonade.
Made with real sugar and some sodium and potassium amd whatever else I can think of to help the situation.

Ben, Thanx for the encouragement,
I have been trying to get the extra weight off for 2 years now. (needed to lose 143# at the start, only 70# more to go)
Jared shed his in under 2, but he is way taller than me and may not have sugar problems. Good thing he lost the weight before he developed some.
BTW hows Oprah's weight this month?
And I too love Miracle whip.
Krap again.
But the local mayo
Dukes, made right here in Va. down the road in Petersburg.
Has no HFCS. All it has is soybean oil,eggs,water, cider vinegar, salt, paprika,natural flavors and calcium disodium edta (preservative)
Guess I'm gonna become a mayonnaise man.
