Hi guys,
Before I'm told to speak to my diabetic team, I have an appointment in a few days
I have been a type 1 for 2 years now, my last A1C was 8.1% which isent the best since I've been diagnosed however my consultant put me on the list for libre due to this.
On the 18th of October at work I suffered a sever hypo with a reading of 1.9mmol and had a seazure...
I was taken to A&E and ushered out quickly.
On the 20th I then suffered another low event on a bus where I almost seazure again as my vision started to tunnel and mucles lost control however I drank some coke at the time and seemed to be fine, until I got to my friends house where my bg was 20mmol I then injected 5U of novorapid and began to tremble uncontrollably... My friends were worried and called an ambulance.
In A&E again and I was told that I had a panic attack... (I've had no previous events of depression or such) which was strange to hear.
After speaking to my GP about this I was diagnosed with a chest infection and assured my syptoms will pass.
The following day I took a walk to the bank to then experience another hypo in the bank where I treated it again with 1L of coke to get home and see that my bg was 8.4mmol
The same thing happened the next day again at the bank.
At the bank I did not have my glucose test meter on me so I can provide readings.
For the following 5 days I've been taking my prescription of amoxoxilin for the chest infection I've been experiencing EXTREMELY high blood clucose with my highest reading of 27mmol even after injecting my usual dose for the amount of carbs consumed with my best reading being a 9.9mmol after injecting 15U of novorapid.
Which leads us to today where I intentionally did not eat from 11am (19.7g of carbs consumed and 5U of novorapid) my sugars didn't seem to change at all and stayed at 14/17mmol up until 6pm where my blood glucose crashed fast.
If you have managed to read all of this my question is what is going on? I have never had such crashes ever since diagnosis and now all of a sudden these hypos just creep up on me.
