I'm home now. I called an ambulance on the advice of a forum member and had 4 infusions of glucose at the hospital who have also halved my lantus dose. Thank you everyone. I'm only 3.9 now but seem to be functioning

Unfortunately I don't think I'm ok now I;m 2.8

I'd like to make this clear. I am not unused to hypos. But today was ridiculous. I could not function. I knew what to do I just couldn't do it

Yeah I have to get one of those glycogen pens (but I would not have been able to do it today), Today was a wake up call. I need to reset my alarm settings as well because I honestly did not know how totally useless I'd be when *really* low. I now know. If I was alone today I don't think I'd be...

And I mean nothing. I could not move

I'm just astounded, I guess, that there was nothing I could do

It was terrifying. I could honestly barely move. I've had heaps off hypos in the past when I first started on insulin but nothing like today. If my mum wasn't here I'm not sure if I'd be typing this because I could not open the f fridge

Mum got me the orange juice. I had two sandwiches with honey (4 slices of bread) and I think 3 cups of milk. I had dinner as normal because I felt better after all of that. But I'm dropping, fast, again, I had 7 units of novorapid with dinner. But this doesn't feel right. I can barely type

Why was I even trying to put my boots on?! This is crazy

I won't ignore anyone on here ever. I just didn't know it could get so bad. What would I have done if Mum wasn't here? I couldn't get the stupid orange juice out of the fridge

How can someone feel like that? I literally could not move!

ah shoot I'm still 2.6 on blood siuaghr not dexcom just ingore m,e

I've been hypo before, lots of times. But never have a felt the utter lack of control. My heart rate must have been 180 (is that a symptom?) and I honesty could not put my shoes on. I couldn't got to the fridge to get an orange juice! I couldn't do a thing. The only thing I could do was look at...

I'm still only 5 something. I am just so glad that mum was here to give me honey. What a horrifying experience. I've never felt that way

I know that I've been hypos in the past. But I've never "felt" them. This afternoon I went to 0.9 (yes) and I couldn't even put my shoes on. I could not walk! I couldn't do a f thing. I don't want to ever feel like that again. Ever. I'm just glad my mum was here

Well all I can say is that I'm here anytime you need me. I think your healthcare system needs to help you a little bit better but that's just an opinion.

I don't know if I even have type 1 diabetes. Five (yes, five now) endocrinologists have said that that I do NOT have T2 and I am therefore T1. I'm happy with that diagnosis which is why I changed my type from 3c to type 1. Type 3c doesn't exist in my country (Australia). Just T1 and T2

3.7 again (dexcom... alarm woke me up). 4.2 finger prick. I can't win, two weeks ago I was over 20. I didn't treat the 3.7 (mainly because the fingerprick was above 4.0 so I decided to just monitor) but an hour later, before breakfast I was 5.0 on the CGM. I don't get compression lows on the...

I do struggle sometimes with low carb because, obviously, if I reduce carbs one of the other macronutrients necessarily has to go up: protein or fat. In my case I try to make sure that the foods I eat increase my protein rather than fat. That's a personal choice, not based on medical or even...

I think that low carb eating can be good (don't talk to me about keto though). I generally eat low carb to keep my insulin requirements as low as possible -- it's harder for me to make an error if I'm having a smaller amount of bolus. Plus I've lost weight, which is good I guess. Have you...
