Hi all
Having experienced a realy bad unexplainable hypo last night,the full works,unconscious and BS 1.2MMOLS,thanks to paramedics a glucogen kit and a wonderful husband that Ime sitting here to tell the tale.My question is that if I hadnt had the glugogen then would I still be here telling you all this? I have no explanation for why this has happened and it has realy scared me,my control has been realy good of late and my pre bed BS was 6.7.I had done 30mins of moderate walking in the afternoon and had a jacket potato and baked beans for tea,and an apple during the evening,that all sounded good to me,so I thought,but now my confidence cant get any lower!I hadnt had a hypo for about 5 years and my husband can give the glugagen,but I had not checked the date on mine and he discovered it was out of date,GRrrr.Hence the medical intervention was needed and am so grateful to them,but am curious how close a call I had?Any thoughts on this would be appreciated,but be gentle on me as feeling pretty fragile today
Many thanks
