I had a huge diabetic halloween party scare this past Saturday, and not scare as in somebody’s mask.  Let me build up to the scary part first.  After debating between the Joker and Indiana Jones I decided to go with Chase Utley (Phillies 2nd baseman for those that don’t know).  So throughout the night I was cheering on my Phillies and it was a very close game.  In about the 7-8 inning, I started to feel my sugar getting extremely low.  I tested, and it was at about 35.  I just started eating a mass amount of food, whatever I could get my hands on.  There was chips, chocolate candy, candy corn, a lot of different things.

The party was a great party, especially since the Phillies won in the bottom of the 9th on a great hit by Carlos Ruiz.  I was even happier because I actually tested my blood sugar out at a Halloween party.  I’ve been testing a lot more because I have a couple meters in different places.  As I am typing right now, I know my numbers are a little high because I have to go home from work in order to change my infusion set.  My insertor at work broke, and I brought the wrong prep pads.  I grabbed a regular antiseptic that I use when I have to use my insulin pen, which I can’t use now because I don’t have another pen needle!  Time to re-up my supplies at my office desk!

Phillies one game away from a World Series Championship!
