I know this situation all too well. You’re talking… making sense, and all a sudden… Boom… garbled speech and incoherentness… who’s got the Milky Ways bar? (of course, that’s not the best answer to the problem.)

Peanut butter and orange juice! Great for giving your blood sugar a sustainable boost.
Jiffy peanut butter makes little grab-n-go peanut butter cups, kind of like those little apple sauce cups or jello cups. I like those a lot, if you have crackers or even a little plastic spoon they are a great way to give you a boost to your blood sugar. Add a small bottle of orange juice and it will usually last you long enough to get a more proper meal into you so you don’t have a really bad crash.
My mate is diabetic, and sometimes his blood sugar crashes suddenly. Keeping peanut butter cups and orange juice on had has kept him stable more often than not.
Granola bars. Wonderful things. They come in nicer flavors nowadays.
She almost said Skittles.
Pash… THAT is an excellent suggestion. My Gram is a full on diabetic who has to take insulin. It’s not something I wish on anybody… I have issues with low blood sugar but I do try to keep it under control. (This is one reason why Randie can eat all kinds of sugary products… I live thru my alter ego….. because I WISH I could eat Pop’n Tarts, and donuts, and Milky Ways… etc.)
Mary… Yes! When traveling in France this summer, we will take Granola Bars (the ones with the least amount of BAD stuff in them (like High-Fructose sugar)… and keep them with us as we always walk everywhere….
Jack… do you like Skittles? Is that what you grab when you feel the need?
I’m in the ‘peanut butter’ camp, you need to get some protein with your pick-me-up!
Drunk? Exhausted? Impersonating Dick Tracy’s nemesis Mumbles?
No! She needs her coffee and Pop N Tarts, NOW!
Fruity yogurt, fruit juice, granola bars, protien bars or shakes, a small piece of chocolate, one of those SMALL bottles of soda, or if worst comes to worst glucose tablets all are real good at giving a low blood sugar pick me up when needed.
chug… and I LOVE peanut butter… the Laura Scudder’s stuff makes me happy.
Dada… Ha! THere’s the Pop’n Tarts… mmm….
Squid… yogurt… yes… I tend towards the Fage or Greek Yogurt and add my own fruit.
I used to have a player in my game that suffered from hyperglycemia, just *boom!* and she would go down until she had some sugar.
She was an opera singer, playing a bard. Tall and skinny as a rail – not how I had pictured an opera singer.
Her voice was somewhat reedy, and lacked bottom.
Nice person.
The Auld Grump, an opera singer named Jenny….
Grump… yes, it hits you rather quickly… picture the zombie stare… incoherent mumblings and sluggishness… I’m picturing opera-ing (like in Buggs Bunny) and then shloom… into zombie mode. A funny thought.
Happened once to a classmate of mine in mid-class, although she never started “Spooning In Speaker-isms”. She went straight from “Attentive” to a wordlessly incoherent disassociation that brought the class to a screeching halt. No-one knew enough about the difference between diabetes-vs-hypoglycemia to be certain whether giving her sugar would help-or-hurt. Instead we sent for professionals to see to her needs, & it all turned out alright – not even a close call.
