Im fairly sure I had my first hypo yesterday and I'm still getting over it today despite my BG being ok now. I felt rough first thing and couldn't face getting up showered and dressed when my carer came. She thought staying in bed was the right thing for me so I went back to sleep. Woke up again at 9.25a.m. In every previous occasion of me not getting up with my beloved at 5.30 a.m., he always calls me between 8-8.30 to check on me. Obviously he hadn't and I realised that my ironing lady was delivering back the ironing at 9.30. It takes me a while to function but I knew I had to answer the door so I dragged myself up, on my crutches and got to the door around 9.35 good job she was a bit late. She came and looked at me and said I ought to go back to bed, which I did. 9.55 my best friend rang and I burst into tears and couldn't speak to her.
10.00 Beloved rings and asked if I'm alright as I hadn't answered his email. I lost my rag and told he hadn't rung to wake me up and he replied you didn't ask me. Never had to before, so I hung up on him. He rang back four times but I didn't answer and eventually went back to sleep.
11.00 he arrives home in full panic mode as he thought I'd fallen, passed out or something worse and couldn't answer the telephone. That made me even more tearful. Then he asked if I'd had breakfast, which I usually have around 6.30 before he leaves for work followed by my morning collect of 14 tablets. He gave me my testing kit and then took it back and did it himself At it said by BG was 1.2. So he made me toast and marmalade (not LCHF apart from the butter but it was all he could think of) had that had my tablets went back to sleep. Apparently he retested 1.30 and it was 3.8. I didn't notice being fast asleep. He did it again 2.30 still 3.8 and I finally woke up around 4 but felt so rough I was back in bed after eating at 6.30.
I'm still rough today but no unusual readings, so I assume that's my first hypo but I could still sleep for England.
We've now arranged with my carer that if she finds me like that again she's going to feed me and supervise me taking my tablets and will call again later. It was a horrible experience and I'm still grumpy. My readings today were 4.7 before breakfast 5.8 2hrs after but I have the most dreadful headache and kept falling asleep all day.
Long ramble sorry but this is the first hypo in three years, nothing was different about what I ate or did Tuesday so why did it happen and how do I prevent it as I don't want to feel like this again?
