Hi all,
I would like a bit of advice (and reassurance) following my incredibly scary night time hypo.
I have been type 1 for 11 years, since I was 12 and had good control, never went to hospital or anything like that. Then, a couple of weeks ago I had a terrifying experience. I went to bed, became unconscious and suffered a very low hypo. My boyfriend was thankfully awake in bed and saw me fitting, with my eyes fixed on the celing and drenched in sweat and rang an ambulance. Upon arrival they gave me two different shots of glucose and after a while managed to bring me back up. My blood sugar upon their arrival was 1.1!
SInce then I am so scared to go to bed! I check my blood sugar at least 3 times before I go to sleep but now I wont sleep alone and i'm so so scared this will happen again!!
Can anyone share their experiences or just reassure me please?!?
Thank you!
