Hi,
I'm a type 1 diabetic male for the past 20 years, I'm now 36. Last Thursday I had a seizure, first time ever. I woke at 6am to find 3 paramedics at the end of my bed giving me oxygen. They'd given me glucagon although before doing so had tested my blood sugar and it was 3.7. I've been much lower before and never experienced anything like this. I'd bitten through my tongue and the pillow was covered in blood. I'd screamed out and my wife saw my eyes flickering and my mouth to one side. When I came around I couldn't believe it was January, and I couldn't remember my job, etc. I apparently kept staring blankly at everybody. My CT scan and blood tests were normal. I've been referred to the epilepsy centre and I've booked myself in to see a diabetic consultant. I'm unsure of the cause and scared it will happen again. If anyone has had a similiar experience or has any info that may help please comment.
