When blood glucose (blood sugar) drops too low, it’s called severe hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia can happen fast, and knowing what to do can save a life. Join us to learn about recognizing the signs of dangerously low blood glucose, what puts you at risk, and how to respond in an emergency. We’ll discuss treatment options to have on hand so you can act quickly and confidently.
I was diagnosed at 10 years old. My parents saw I was losing a lot of weight, and I looked very sick. I played soccer and I wasn't able to keep up anymore. My mom took me to the doctor and that’s when we found out I have type 1 diabetes: a scary thing that I didn’t understand. My friend’s dad had type 2 diabetes, so I understood some, but not the full extent. I was shown how to use an insulin pen and to check my blood sugar and went home. I was terrified I couldn’t play soccer anymore; I love soccer.
