Message: <blockquote data-quote="mentat" data-source="post: 1571395" data-attributes="member: 86670">Hi Kitty246,Over my 7 years with diabetes my hypo response has become worse and worse. I am working with my doctors to try to figure out whether hypos are triggering non-convulsive epileptic seizures, among other options.Epilepsy can cause very odd moods and disconnections from reality, and after a seizure it is common to have memory problems, and to be disconnected from oneself, for days.In any case, I myself have had many experiences where I was aware of what was going on but also in my own horrible world and unable to communicate. This usually happens hours after a hypo, but it sounds like we have a lot in common? Feel free to PM me. I have started taking sodium valproate which has made an enormous difference. I am also using a CGM to prevent 99% of hypos; I wouldn't be able to function otherwise.Also please take care; low blood sugar can cause brain damage and just because he "functions OK at" 2.5 does not mean that damage is not occurring. If it is happening more than once a month or for prolonged periods you should probably consider changing your targets.</blockquote>
