Hi people.
Wondered if anyone can help me here. I am insulin dependant and have been a diabetic since 2000. I am a bit irresponsible sometimes, as i do like a chocolate bar or 2 and I also smoke around 10 cigs a day.
Apart from that, I play sport weekly and have an active job. My blood tests every few months seem to be that of a normal person and I would generally say I am healthier and fitter than many people.
Last week whilst driving home from work, my vision went funny for a few seconds and I then found myself about 5 miles away parked up on the side of the road. There was a mcdonalds bag in the car and I also had a milkshake!! I have no recollection of this at all. I paid with my chip and pin card as the receipt was in the car. I can see little images from the experience but is like im trying to remember a dream. Obviously i have found this a bit distressing.
I have been stressed out at work recently, my relationship is in tatters and I wonder if maybe the stress is getting to me and has caused this? I have had a few episodes of confusion recently before the occurence I have just written about, maybe all connected?? Is it diabetes finally telling me who the boss is?? Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Been to the docs and am awaiting blood test results, anyone had an experience like this before?
