Last thing you ate?

I did the stupid thing and didn't eat most of yesterday to the point where my blood sugars dropped to extreme lows and I had a diabetic seizure. Came to with a room full of paramedics and glass of OJ in hand...quite the experience.
So this morning I had a nice full breakfast, because I don't want that happening again

Oh geeze, glad you are okay!I did the stupid thing and didn't eat most of yesterday to the point where my blood sugars dropped to extreme lows and I had a diabetic seizure. Came to with a room full of paramedics and glass of OJ in hand...quite the experience.

As am I, it was a bit of a stupid move on my part not to eat for most of the day, but at least it wasn't any worse than needing a glucose drip and the embarrassment of putting yourself in that situation and costing EMS time that could be spent tending to more critical things.
I'd imagine it happens often enough for them not to think anything of it.
Yeah it probably does, and I'm sure to them it was just a case of done and onto the next one, I'm just one of those people that usually takes decent enough care of myself to not need that sort of intervention because I genuinely hate wasting the time of emergency services, and yet still wind up in hospitals more frequently than I care to admit.
I'm the same way. I don't like taking time from people that could be served elsewhere. I had to go to the ER last year because of severe pain. I put off going for 2 days and I believed what was happening was a kidney stone. I was correct but in the moment I never felt a pain that severe so I ended up going in. Luckily, they were not busy or anything.
I've absolutely done that, too! I'm usually good at dealing with pain by myself (even when prescribed pain killers, I'll take one when the pain is super severe, but nothing after that because I hate pain pills, they make me feel sick), so I'll either ignore the pain and go about my business or take an aleeve or something like that. I only go in when the pain gets to super severe levels, which sadly I've had to do far more frequently than I'd like to admit, but I always hate feeling like I'm there wasting their time when someone could've been an accident or shot or something and I'm sitting here with an owie and a frowny face. Even though the nursing staff are always great about you being there and super professional, I still end up making myself feel like a 3 year old needing kisses from my mother to make it feel better. At the end of the day, that's what the ER is for, though, and it shouldn't make you feel bad for going, but damn do I hate that feeling
Had pizza for dinner and just finished an ice cream cone, one of those fudge dipped ones with peanut butter in the center.
I had a pesto pasta...it was fine, but it was a stupid decision because my brain was craving something different. Makes whatever your eating seem less good...
I had oatmeal when I came home from my shift today because it was still morning. Dinner plans are chicken pot pie.
