Funniest thing you've done while having a hypo...

At work, I went to the loo. When I returned, I couldn't find my office. I walked up and down the corridor, asking if anyone had seen someone take my things!

A few of my RAF colleagues sat me down and gave me sweet tea and a cake. They wouldn't let me go anywhere. I sat there, crying, saying that my office had been stolen and that I obviously didn't have a job any more.

About 20 minutes later, I was feeling so much better and I asked them why they had invited me into their office, 3 flights down for tea!!!!

It turns out that my blood sugar had dropped (I've spoken on another thread about the urgent need to pee when hypo) I headed to the toilets, then walked down 3 flights of stairs looking for sugar! This is why I couldn't find my office! I still had my job and office, just 3 flights up!

This is hilarious!!
When I was about 12 big brother had just started and I went low and was convinced I was in the house kept telling everyone I was no fool and they should just tell Davina to come out now... And I wouldn't eat because I thought I was on TV lol
Another time my mum
Called the doctor and I spent an hour telling him about my pink kittens that could fly haaa
Iv done so many stupid things ... I hate the feeling when your half normal again and you slowly start to realise what you have been doing it's so funny haaa

Having had diabetes 1 for over 50 years, since age 10, I have experienced a great number of hypos. Twice I've been very lucky to return to normal life. Some hypos have been funny, in retrospect (such as me talking to the flowers in my window box and moving the box inside my bed so the flowers wouldn't get cold...), but mostly hypos have been a dangerous thing in my life of which I have become frightened.

I have been unconscious a few times through hypos and my question to any medical expert is: do hypos damage the brain? Do they stop my grey cells from being renewed, do they accelerate memory loss?

Are there any books on how hypos affect brain function?

I hasten to add that in general my diabetes is well controlled, but hypos have been a recurring worry of which my diabetes specialist is aware.

being a diabetic and finding restrictions.to life style. people who do not understand the problems one has. not being able to afford to come back to uk for holidays as often, quite expensive. miss some foods that the French do not do. but can live with that French drivers. who love to tail gate. and they love to drive over the white line. in rural areas they are a pain. but get use to it. does put the wind up you. But driving in the UK found that drivers want to get as close as they can. and the traffic. it took me 25 minutes to get to friends house which was less then a mile away. due to traffic.
Hi I do not think I had a hypo. so little is known to me what to expect and why you get one
your help would be grateful

I had a bad hypo out walking the dog with my dad, I started to power walk away from him whilst calling him a "*****" and I came to a halt when I walked into a large fence haha!

That's the only funny one I've had!, but I have came round from a hypo once and found fresh cups of tea in the kitchen that were not there before!
