Dont get too many hypos, and normally treat them and recover quite quickly. Today I felt hypo quite suddenly and went into our office to take glucogel. Another member of staff come in shortly, my blood sugar was 2.8. Felt rotten, zoned out and wobbly. Member of staff said "there are 2 patientswaiting for their fields tests, come NOW. I said I would when I recovered from my hypo, she got in a nark and went out and shut the door. I felt really upset, I felt vulnerable and alone. Most staff are very good if I'm hypo to be fair. It's horrid feeling so vulnerable. First time I've reacted in that way, not nice. I did try to explain to some of the newer (and yes younger) members if staff about hypos but they didnt listen. One of them even recalled some weeks ago, a patient who'd had a hypo (sounded like a severe one), that we was making blubbery noises, she said the nurses gave him sugar and then "he was like a different person", all the while she was laughing n thought it was so funny. I'd rather pass out then ask some people I work with for help.
