Has anyone else not woken up while has a hypo and seize then wake up with paramedics infront if you?
I did when I was pregnant and keeping low sugars, Given today's technology, can you afford a cgm and then add an alarm? That would seem the obvious solution for night time lows. And, obviously, be careful with alcohol because it suppresses your liver's ability to rescue from hypos.
Yes last November, my own stupid fault I ended up in a hypo, but para medics shouting at you and trying to stick canulars in you is not much fun.
But still have the greatest respect for them.
Not for a long time but a few times in my early days, I've woken up in A&E too on a drip, good people Paramedics
I've woken up rather too many times with my wife looking at me having given me the glucagon. A few of the early times this was accompanied by little green men (paramedics), but mostly just my wife handling it these days.
I've also had two fits while I've been alone, and woken up with a swollen tongue and a nasty headache.
(all of this while sleeping)
The libre blucon based alarm is working - not had a problem since then.
Wow so was that glucagon? Cuz I woke up and I was so confused I thought they were police cuz the glucagon took a few minutes to wake me up and gain consciousness again t my situation was kinda good in a way then cuz I didn’t feel the canular or whatever but still woke up
Has your mindset changed in regards to diabetes as the years have passed that you’ve had it? Wondering because I’m only 3 years in
What happened while u were alone? You just woke up sweating and all that?
I know what you mean about little green men. I thought about learning Martian speak but figured that would become untranslatable once in a hypo.I've woken up rather too many times with my wife looking at me having given me the glucagon.

Scary stuff. My sister in law's cousin died in his sleep from what was confirmed later to be a diabetic hypo. It happened around the same time as I was diagnosed last year and she kept it to herself to avoid worrying me (even more than I already was). She only told me a few months ago - has worried my hubbie though because he didn't realise that was something that could happen.
