The DU Lounge

We keep a stock of 15 gram glucose packets at home, in all our vehicles, and she carries some in her purse. We buy the Transcend brand, orange flavored, from Amazon, a 30-pack box at a time -- tear off the end and squeeze the sugary glop into her mouth and swallow.

I'm an EMT and these packets are the same thing we carry on our ambulances for diabetic emergencies caused by low blood glucose levels. High blood glucose will cause organ damage and possibly cause death but it takes years; low blood glucose can kill you in minutes if not corrected.

The drive-thru window lady is a real hero -- she saved a life.
