Hi all!
I'll try to make this as short as possible... Two nights ago (at 2am on Thursday to be exact) I had a hypo, measured at 1.8 mmol/l. I'm guessing you can call it a "severe hypo", because if it wasn't for my boyfriend I wouldn't have gotten to the sugar myself. I only remember parts of it, like him checking my bg, pulling me up to sitting position (I couldn't sit up myself) and making me drink some coke (I fell asleep a few times during that). I remember the can being terribly heavy (it was still small 150ml can...) and me being completely wet. I woke up about 2 hours later feeling hypo again - but higher this time, because I was able to get to the kitchen and eat something by myself.
Not a very pleasant night.
Anyway, I woke up in the morning (so 3-4 hours after the second hypo) and I was only able to text my boss that I'm not coming to work today (that was yesterday). Finally woke up another 2 hours later. In total, I got my usual 7-8 hours of sleep that night.
The day was obviously horrible, I felt like I've done a marathon with the worst hangover of my life. Everything hurt and I was tired and sleepy. My sugar was in a normal range, spiking weirdly but getting back down after a while. We went for a walk during the day, but I was sooo sleepy, so when we got back I went back to bed. Slept for about 4 hours, after my bf woke me up (it was evening already). Evening wasn't bad, I was still tired but not so sleepy and overall better. So we went for another walk, which was rather good. But by the end of it, my legs muscles started hurting reeeeaaaaally bad. I went back to sleep later, still hurting.
Tonight had a small hypo (3.5) again, but managed it and woke up with reasonable sugar, around 6 (I was going for a higher fasting, so 6 was good). Today has been rather weird, my bg is more or less stable, but it's moody around meals. I messed up my basal (that's what caused the hypos), so I'm not worried about it - I'll get it back to normal when injecting this evening and it should be ok tomorrow.
The only thing that worries me, is that everything still hurts!
I'm at work today, slightly tired. I went out for my lunch break and everything started hurting again I'm feeling like I just want to crawl into bed and stay there.
Should I blame the hypos for still feeling bad or should I be really worried?
