Nothing silly about it, I've been there, but it was a wake up call to me that you have to have fast acting carbs (hard candies or glucose tablets) with you at ALL times!. Hypos come on very fast, and the disorientation that comes with them puts you in a very vulnerable position for making decisions!. You have to be able to just grab it and chow it down!. Grass wouldn't have helped you, no carb in that!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think grass would have helped!. Being diabetic, even if you never have low episodes, you should always be prepared for one!. Carry some hard candy, or even better, a granola bar or peanut butter crackers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't sound silly - it was a potentially serious situation!.

I doubt if grass would have helped!.

You probably know you need to carry some food in case you do go hypo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
