[QUOTE="Discovery22, post: 2134842, member: 495383"] Thank you for your advice. It’s all so much to take in and to try to understand so I’ll,need to read through it a few times. It doesn’t help when I have so called professionals...those who you really trust...telling you to eat as many complex carbs as possible for slow release energy, a dietitian telling me to eat porridge every morning and potato’s and pasta through the day. All these things I’ve tried and one day I’ll be fine and the next I’ll have hypo after hypo and I don’t know what the hell I’m doing and I can’t function and feel permanently exhausted and drained from living with them day in and day out. I went to watch my daughter play in a rugby match today and fell asleep on the floor in a hypo propped up against the clubhouse and was woken by some man asking if I’m ok. I have no idea if I’m ok all I know is I want to sleep. It’s ridiculous that even walking upstairs to the bathroom can trigger a hypo. Or even ironing?? My window of feeling desperately hungry is far smaller now and I get to a point where actually I can’t be bothered to eat or treat it. I’d prefer to sleep. Or sometimes I don’t actually recognise I’m having a hypo and it’s only when I get really aggy or confused or falling all over the place I take my sugars and they’re low. (Around 2.0) I don’t even know the correct way of treating a hypo? In hospital they either give me fresh orange juice or glucogel/glucotabs and it works fast so that’s what I do at home but I have less of it at home so it’s just enough to lift it to around 4.5 Sometimes I wish it would just take me as I’m too tired to cope with this now. Having this forum is giving me a small ray of hope that maybe I can work out exactly what all the triggers are (which seems impossible due to inconsistencies) and maybe even claim my life back. Thank you [/QUOTE]
