Apple Juice

My friend is insulin dependent. She told me she walked her dog the other night and realized she was having an attack of low blood sugar. "I was too afraid to ask anyone for help because then I'd have to explain myself. A glass of apple juice would've done it. If anyone saw me they would think I was drunk the way I was staggering. I finally made it home without falling," she said. "Normally my monitor tells me but it was recharging at home. I felt fine and thought I'd take a quick walk before the sun set. The problem with low blood sugar is it makes me stupid. When I got home I couldn't even figure out how to unhook my dog's leash."
"If I ever see you acting strange I will offer you some apple juice," I said and we both laughed.
