[QUOTE="kevinfitzgerald, post: 1639889, member: 88583"] Hello Soapybubs87. I used to have regular hypo's when I would not be able to move one half of my body, be hyperventilating and having to try to get to where I had some sugar / lucozade on my back using one leg to move myself along the ground. It would take me about an hour just to realise I was having a hypo and then another half hour to just get off the bed! The confusion was terrifying. I used to drink and for any new Type 1 diabetics who may be alcoholic (seriously) there is an incredibly high chance you will experience these type of hypo's. Don't laugh but one of my consultants told me there is actually a name for these alcoholic hypo's. Wait for it......... Mega Hypo!... I don't believe him as I've never come across any other alky diabetics that have told me that is what they are called! These would always be in the early hours of the morning for me. 2,3,4am after a heavy session of booze and spirits. I would wake and just lay there not being able to move one side of my body and have little coordination of the other side. I would not be able to talk either, just moan / scream. Buckets of sweat. Really frightening to know your dying. Thankfully haven't had one of those for well over 13 and a half years now and have 36 years of being a little overly sweet :cat: (cat lover) Anyway I didn't mean to scare anyone just stating what it was like for me a few hours after a session after waking up from being passed out.
