[QUOTE="sandiebarber, post: 1028082, member: 110234"] The lowest I've been was when my meter read 'low' this is because I was so low it couldn't get a reading which I believe is under 1, how I managed to even test and see the result when this low is beyond me. My worst hypo came on so quickly that I didn't have chance to treat it or test. My vision suddenly went weird - everything was flying past me quickly. I came around with the paramedics seeing to me having fitted and bitten through my tongue. I'm a single parent and my 5 year old daughter witnessed me fitting and ran to a neighbours for help. She got a bravery award at school but since then we have both been really scared it'll happen again, I obviously reassure her it won't but I know the reality of being insulin dependant. That was a year ago and it hasn't happened again yet, with hindsight I was in a diet and trying to lose weight which anyone on insulin will no is not easy! I had been taking a green powder supplement which contained green tea, spirulena wheat grass and various other natural things to boost metabolism, maybe it was that.... I stopped taking it just in case. All us diabetics are up against it in a way no non diabetic will ever understand. Stay safe folks xx [/QUOTE]
