[QUOTE="lostsoul, post: 224833, member: 12470"] 45 yrs (4 years pre symtomatic) and still kicking but not as well as I used to. Yes, I have been ambulanced for Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia and woken up on a gurdy in my PJ's. My then wife, now ex told me I was unconscious and tried out my Kung fu skills (skilled in Martial Arts) on the paramedics and almost connected with their heads and bodies several times because I viewed them as the enemy. I tried to stop them taking me away. My survival instincts took over. No one is safe around me when and If I am too low, which has not happened in 10 years. Night time terrors I call them. I have Gastroperesis and constantly vomit and cannot hold down my food for long periods without choking and running to the toilet or the nearest street corner after eating a bite from a sandwich. I swallow Omeprazole daily, I no longer eat all my small dinners and they invariably end up in the bin on a daily basis. Very slim, 13 stones. I have not seen the inside of an ambulance in 5 years. Ain't being a T1 great! Fun everyday! £&%* it! I forgot to mention that my blood sugars are constantly low and much better than they have been for a long time. I have very good awareness level of hypo's and can still read the signs after 40 yrs. I use porcine insulin (neutral and isophane). [/QUOTE]
