Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ausra" data-source="post: 226078" data-attributes="member: 37771">I remember just after the diagnosis i had trouble bringing my sugar levels down, so i decided to be smart and took insulin without food and went out to keep myself away from eating. I went to primark and the place was full of people, so full...i became very irritated of people stepping on my shoes and standing in the middle not letting other people to get through. It was really mad in there..I could not stand it anymore and decided to get out of there, but the way out was far away. I was so desperate to get out I walked over other people not letting anyone to get in my way.That's when i started feeling that something is not right with me. But i could not realise I was having a hypo. When I finally got out, I sat outside and lit a cigarette. Then for a second everything went black and back to normal again. I sat there thinking what was going on, but still i could not realise i was having a hypo.  Then everything went black again and back to normal one more time. Sudenly I realised i am hungry so i went for a search for a shop or any place that sell food and i found starbucks. I was almost passing out while ordering hot chocollate (hot chocollate!) but I tried very hard not to show that there was something wrong with me..Tall or Grande?..big please..here or take away?..here please..(sweating real bad, eyes all over the face)..cream on top?..yes please..no NO please..(how to make it faster??!!)I had maybe 20 moments of blackness while waiting for my drink to be ready. When i finally got it i drank it in 2 minutes even though it was really hot..it was the best hot chocollate i have ever tasted in my whole life but it was not enough, i went back to que for a sandwich, then for a cake.I sat there and watched life coming back to me. Life in vision. And only then i though: this probably was a hypo.</blockquote>
