Never posted here before so forgive me if I’ve flaired it wrong. For context, I am a Type 1 Diabetic, and one of the side effects I suffer from is confusion when my blood sugars crash. With that said, let’s get into the story
Woke up this morning with a strange, bad taste in my mouth, with no real guesses as to why, however as I started to wake I realised what had happened.
I was fighting some hypos last night, thought I’d remedied it and so I went to sleep. Woke up around 3am, sugars had crashed hard, and in my hypoglycaemic confusion, picked up my hairspray and sprayed it directly INTO my mouth. Does it make sense? No. Do I use other aerosols to treat hypos? No. But it was the logical thing for my glucose-deprived brain to do, god-knows why
I’m utterly baffled and now trying to mask the taste of hairspray with limited success. I’ve had similar instances of waking up low and pouring orange juice in my cereal, but never done anything quite like this so thought I would share and hopefully make some people laugh at my self-inflicted misfortune!
TLDR: T1D, woke up with low blood sugar, in a confused state, sprayed hairspray into my mouth
