Hi All, new to the forum so bear with me..
My partner has type 1 and has lived with it for 10+ years. Lately he’s had the odd hypo where I have come home from work and found him either completely out of it (eyes open, know one home, sweating etc) or his mind is in another universe (i.e. alien planet, fighting a war etc) so he’s scared or upset… does anyone else have this?
Weirdly he remembers what’s happening and what we have said to him in order to get some sugar into him (which is also impossible)
But the main reason for writing is due to something that happened on the weekend. I woke at 5am with a hand on my face, shoved it off and realised that he didn’t wake from me moaning at him.. prodded away.. lights on.. eyes open.. no reaction.
Tested him and he was 2.5 which he usually functions ok at. He wasn’t clammy either which is weird. It took a long time for him to be able to talk and he would not take anything sugary. Luckily his levels were going up by themselves quite nicely until he came round enough to sort himself.
But the worrying part was the excruciating headache he had after for most of the day (we ended up in hospital for the day with strong painkillers) He was left for days feeling like he was in a dream world, having troubles remembering etc. To look at him, you would think he was still having a hypo.
So my question is, has anyone had this experience before?
Many thanks, Kate
