If you have been a Diabetic for several years, what sort of warning signs would you get if you had low sugars?.
I think they vary from person to person but I get some or all of these hypo symptoms:
Phase 1:
Feeling that "Something's not quite right"
"Tingling"
Clammy - mildly sweating.
Difficulty concentrating.
Phase 2:
Difficulty focusing.
Sometimes affects sight, like a migraine coming; blank areas/patterns in my vision.
Feel strange, shaky, harder to think.
Angry! Especially if I know I've been careful, & done everything "right".
(Sometimes I'm so sure I shouldn't be having a hypo I refuse to accept it at first.)
Fed up, if it's a bad one I know I'm probably going to feel tired & down for the rest of the day.
Hungry.
Phase 3:
Very sweaty - smelly sweat!
Worried./Scared?
Really need to eat & sit/lie down.
A very bad one leaves me fighting to stay conscious.
Phase 4:
Haven't been there.
Never lost consciousness - so far..
Usually, I catch it in phase 1 but if the room/weather is hot and/or I'm very busy, I can miss phase 1 completely.
