I think this sums it up really, it's that lack of energy and decision making power we all seem to lose when low, I sometimes find myself struggling with even the most simple thoughts like how to switch the kettle on! It can get scary too, I've forgotten where I live and I also once couldn't...

@mangobe your stories make me sad but also, in a weird way, I find them comforting in a 'you are not alone' way! I hope you manage to get on a pump or get a cgm to help with your situation, you sound like a perfect case for a PCT funded cgm! xx

I was involved in a pump/exercise research program and discovered that it can take just 10mins to see a drop in bg during even moderate exercise - I try to reduce basal an hour before exercise to avoid a low during exercise but it's tough remembering to do that!

What is even funnier is that often people around you don't say or do anything?! I know we have discussed that perhaps we don't look as bad as we feel but still, it can't be normal, lol!

Thanks, what a lovely thing to say!

Thanks, glad to be back, need to realise there is more to life than a stressful job! I am seriously considering not taking the new job after what happened, I am worried it was the stress and worry that brought on the low? I can't be sure but there must be more to life!!

Thanks all! I feel a bit better about it today and I emailed my new job to confirm start date so even if the people I saw think I'm mad/was drunk they haven't told me not to turn up in March! Still not sure I ever want to go back there though ;-)

Sounds awful :-( I think the worse thing is when you can't remember. I couldn't remember where I had parked my car! The woman with me must have thought I was mental! I tend to get upset too when low but thankfully I didn't start blubbing - I've been googling my legal rights incase they try to...

Oh Lordy!! Were you on your own? Years ago I fell over in Boots and ended up surrounded by lots of helpful people, all convinced I'd bumped my head as I was being so vacant!

Thanks for all the stories, nice to know I'm not the only one! Safety in numbers ;-)

Quite right too! I think the reason I fell for my husband was because I took a deep breath and told him on our first date and he seemed genuinely interested! Clueless, yes, but interested ;-) he's now a hypo treating pro! Now I just need to find another job prospect (how can they not retract the...

Oh no!! Did your date know? Run a mile? Help you buy food?!

That made me lol! And feel much better, thanks for sharing! what happened afterwards?!

Thanks @noblehead, hope all is well with you

Why do we do it to ourselves?! If I'd stopped and treated I wouldn't be cringing now! Lol

Stoke Mandeville - is Medtronic the paradigm veo one? I like the idea of the insulin suspend pump option but will continue to do research..

I've tried to literally carry jelly babies everywhere at work, even if I'm nipping to the loo just in case I get called into a meeting or stopped and can't get back to my desk! that way at least I can share the 'snack' lol! Seriously thinking about self funding a cgm, have an appt next week at...

The problem with me is I feel low but if I can't immediately access sugar I try and ignore it?! Even as I type that I know how mad it sounds!! But you are right, people who are unfamiliar will be nervous and give you the royal treatment, lol! I should just stop the meeting and say 'grab a coffee...

Thanks guys, it does help to know I'm not alone! Still cringing ☺️

Where is the worst place you have had a hypo? I'm cringing like mad as just had a low whilst visiting my new boss at a job I haven't even started yet!!! Was planning on telling him in my 'official' first day as rightly or wrongly, people do judge!! But now, he probably thinks I was either drunk...
