[QUOTE="Inky0605, post: 935916, member: 205183"] Hello. I'm new to the forum and have joined because I'm worried about my T1 husband. We've been married for ten years and I have been lucky that until Monday, I'd never seen him collapse or become unconscious - only ever low and a bit sweaty / shaky etc. Regrettably on Monday my husband fainted from a sitting position in the kitchen and was unconscious for about 20-30 seconds. When he came round he displayed all the symptoms I've read about a hypo, confusion, heavy sweat, weak etc but I'm confused about something. After a few sips of apple juice my husband was violently sick which has never happened before. Once he was comfortable we tested his levels which were actually 14. I remember thinking that he hadn't actually had much juice so I'm very confused. Surely his levels wouldn't be high so soon after (what I've assumed to be) a hypo? Or can it spike back up that quickly? Could it maybe have been a heart attack? Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated X [/QUOTE]
