Snodger said:I still faff about though, when I'm hypo. Eg go to treat the hypo but get distracted by something trivial. I can be totally focussed on treating the hypo and somehow that focus suddenly swaps to, say, doing the crossword, putting in a load of washing, etc, and I forget to eat something. It's not forgetfulness, (I'm not like that normally) I think it's actually a hypo symptom.
Newly diagnosed I knew nothing of hypos until one day leaving the surgery after seeing the nurse and driving I suddenly started to feel rather odd, so, pulled into a petrol stataion, ran in and grabbed two little milkyways off the front rack, wripped off the wrapping and shoved them into my mouth and then grabbed a lucosade and started to guzzle that. The lady behind the counter realised very quickly that I was in trouble and came to my rescue, by this time I was ready to pass out. She was a diabetic and sat me in the office until I was finally on the way up with my levels. She gave me some food and away home I went. I later sent her a thank you card with some flowers.
Currently, if I have a serious hypo, I see cats. Lots of them. And spend most my time demading that the cats be removed.
