[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1000126, member: 211362"] [INDENT]The very first symptom of a hypo is your judgment is affected, then the other symptoms follow. So this means your brain is the first to be affected.... so the term brain fry would be about right too because if you don't treat, then you get serious symptoms such as slurred speech, unable to swallow, being unconscious.
