Not had any hellish ones (yet?) unless you include the sliding scale induced 0.5 the hospital saw fit to give me 6 hours after I was dx. At that point I was lying down, state of shock etc so didnt feel it until I sat up until which point I began to feel sick, dizzy, shaky. Nurse told me I had just sat up too quickly :shock: . Have felt lightheaded ever since so am convinced they have damaged my brain!!!
Generally though when they start dropping I can feel a bit nauseous (even if not clinical hypo, I can feel them on the way down). When 4 or just below i start feeling a bit lightheaded and jittery and a bit 'starey'. Sometimes if just at 4 or below, I will eat something but not treat as such. THis seems to work ok.
However, if Im worried about it still dropping I will have 1 dextro tab, or if able, a cup of milky tea with 1 sugar. Gives a new perspective to the turn of phrase, I can put the kettle on for when im likely to hypo :lol:
