Last Wednesday I had a late breakfast (about 11 am) so lunch was also late (about 4 pm) then went out for a drive about 5.30 pm. About 8 pm we were heading home when I felt that my BS might be getting low so I ate 2 sweets. 5 minutes later I knew that I was going to HYPO so I pulled off the road and almost immediately started to shake violently (rigors). There was NONE of the usual warning signs: hunger, sweating, blurred vision, headaches, etc. I ate a lot of peanuts, drank milk, ate 2 more sweets and rested for 30 minutes. Feeling OK I set off towards home and 10 minutes later felt the rigors coming on again - so we pulled off the road again whilst my wife went to buy me sausage and chips and a can of soda. After eating I rested again for about an hour and then headed home feeling OK.
On Thursday I slept late and woke about 11 am to find that my middle toe right foot had a large blister which was weeping. Feeling exhausted I slept most of Thursday (except for eating) and was vomiting in the evening. Friday I felt no better so I contacted the Doctor who prescribed Antibiotics and got the nurse to bandage my toe. On Saturday I still felt "under the weather" and it was the evening before I felt anywhere near normal.
This week I feel fine - but not straying far from home - and I now have to visit the surgery twice a week to have my toe dressed.
Does anyone have any ideas why the rigors came so suddenly? It has never happened like this before.
