[QUOTE="EileenWagner, post: 1163322, member: 228359"] Over the last 10 months I've been losing weight without even trying. I went off of a medication that was apparently keeping the extra weight I had on, and the weight just started falling off of me. I was trying to adjust my insulin accordingly, but we were also in the middle of moving to a new apartment. I was having severe hypos upwards of 8 times a day, usually in the low 1's. It was very hard to deal with, because I had to keep moving because of a time crunch and didn't want to sit down and deal with it. My best friend, bless her, started making me sit down and eat, setting a timer for 20 minutes and told me if I got up before it went off that she would leave & I'd have to pack by myself. She knew that was the last thing I wanted. She got her way, and it was probably the best thing. After we moved, there were times where I was waking up in the middle of the night, screaming nothing but "help me!" at my husband. He immediately knew what was happening. I don't remember most of what happened during those times. I would be so confused. My husband said that one of the times, I was sitting on my bed confused about he got to the hockey game with me, and how I didn't know where I was going to find a juice box. When he handed me one, I couldn't figure out how to suck on the straw. He had to quickly pour it in a glass for me. I remember crying hysterically while he held me, telling me if I ate too much I would just rebound, and to let what I had eaten work. (He was right, of course) I told him that he really needs to start calling Emergency services for me, because he may not always be able to handle it. My doctor also insisted that if I'm that low, to call them. It's not worth risking it that I'm going to just come through it by eating sweets. It can be so terribly scary at times. I finally reached a plateau and stopping losing so much weight so quickly, and finally stabilized a bit. But talk about a scary time! [/QUOTE]
