Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2689155" data-attributes="member: 556474">In my student days I would almost invariably be hypo by the time I arrived home from a night out, I think if I had my time again now with a CGM I'd actually realise (via the alarms) and fix it with a half of coke before leaving, but back then it was easy to be distracted and find the bar was closed (or 10 deep and likely to be closed soon) and I just needed to get some carbs, and home was a sure thing, even if it was a 30min walk.I never used to take snacks out with me, I now take a funsize (i.e. small and sealed) pack of skittles wherever I go in my jeans pocket and more in my jacket.Hypos can feel different, ranging from just feeling a bit tired, to falling over or otherwise not being able to control your muscles, not being able to talk or make any sense. I used to sometimes gradually wake up from a dream and to find myself sitting somewhere strange with something sweet in my hand - I'd either got something myself and not remembered until my BG had come up, or had concerned friends standing around me who'd been plying me with sugary food and drink. Much easier these days with CGM and not being a student!</blockquote>
