Type 2 diagnosed in August 2011 and controlled by diet. I normally have a blood sugar of between 5.5 and 6.5 when tested, not tested often of course due to expense and not being on medication i'm not allowed the strips on prescription.
Anyhoo; I got married two days ago and in the car on the way to the reception I drank 2 glasses of Cava Champagne, felt tipsy and stopped at that. Had a fabulous wedding lunch about an hour later and indulged in one of our fabulous chocolate cupcakes as the pudding. About 20 mins later we were all in the taxi coming home from the reception and I started feeling a bit nauseous, light headed and woozy after that I don't remember about 10 mins. I came too in the taxi on the way to hospital, I was confused and didn't know what was happening. My new husband said I had been unresponsive, that my eyes were open and I was repeating the same words over and over but not responding to anything.
The hospital gave me a small cup of lucozade and took my blood sugar which was 4, my blood pressure was 98/65 and I had a small blip on my ECG. Over the next four hours my blood sugar came up to 5.3 and blood pressure came up to around 102/69. I had a muller light yogurt (small one) and about an hour later my sugars were 6.5(ish) and blood pressure was up to 135/just over 80 and no blip on my ECG. After 9 hours at the hospital the doctor said they didn't know what caused the episode and to go home.
Was this a hypo?? If it was would it have been the champagne?
