[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2762162, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=598366]@AdamMo95[/USER] I just wanted to try and reassure you. Hypos can be terrifying and are certainly a curse. Between 1959 and 2013 I must have had at least 100. Some were so bad that I had total memory failure temporarily. The media doesn't help by publishing headlines like "Mother's life saved by actions of her 9 year-old son", when they are talking about her being hypo and needing help. In no way am I trying to undermine the seriousness and risks of hypoglycemia, but the shock and newness of a severe low is bound to make you overly think. Since I have even had a bad hypo in a restaurant because the meal didn't arrive until after an hour had passed, I put this down to lousy service and my friends sorted me (and the manager!) out. I continued life as normal. I really hope you can overcome this as so much of your life could be impacted. Don't let the b'''''' grind you down! All the best. [/QUOTE]
