Hi.
I'm just wondering about your weirdest/worst hypo experiences. A few weeks ago I had one where it felt more like some kind of scary LSD acid trip or something. It's kind of hard to explain without it sounding a bit nuts.
I've had many hypos before (the trippier ones have always been whilst I've been asleep - usually in the form of a bad dream/nightmare) where you then eventually wake up - formerly in a pool of my own sweat (that no longer happens as I've lost that particular hypo sign) and still with a low BS level.
As I said this one I had several weeks ago was like a waking nightmare - whilst I was trying to walk and fumble around for some sweet stuff to eat (often in the wrong room) I had some seriously trippy thoughts and one particular one that is connected to my life brought on a terrible sense of confusion and dread. My vision was also 'coloured' kind of like if you put a filter on an SLR camera which changes the hue. As I said, it's kind of difficult to explain unless you were there - hence my earlier description of it feeling like a bad acid trip (LSD) - )if you haven't tried that then I recommend you do it at least once in your life).
Finally I managed not to pass out and scoff a load of cereal bar things I eventually located in a cupboard. When I was able to check my blood some minutes later it was 1.8mmol (which I believe is around 31 in the new money).
It didn't feel like a hypo I've had before and I had one (years and years ago) a few years after being diagnosed where I was falling around into walls and doors etc. and a house-mate actually called the ambulance - but even that particularly bad one was nothing like this. It actually got me a bit worried that it was something more neurological/brain tumoury.
So, . . . how about you guys . . . .Should I be making a neuro appointment?
