Hi all
I normally get hypo awareness around 3.5 but was busy flitting the other day and took a break, feeling tired, at one point. Thought I'd put the kettle on and check my sugars... 1.2 :shock: checked them again but same result. After a can of coke & sit down for 10 mins they came up to 3 and thats when I started feeling a bit low.
Other than feeling a bit tired i had no other symptoms and it scared the life out of me. I've been hypo since then and had my normal symptoms between 3 and 4 so I'm hoping it was just a one off, too busy to notice perhaps?
Does anyone else feel low once they're sugars are coming up, rather than going down?
also - just how low can you go before you pass out? I'd walked out to the car to get my meter etc so was fully conscious at 1.2...
