[QUOTE="Theiriginalmarkw, post: 2368721, member: 538598"] Before I had Dexcom I used to get occasional night time hypos which would result in me having a fit. Other half has had to deal with it several times. Advice from her would be: Call 999 straight away regardless of whether you have glucagon Use hypostop gel if you can, definitely not solids or liquids (risk of choking) but watch you don’t get bitten. Reassure, no matter how scared you are Make the person as comfortable as you can, move them away from anything that might further injure them Fortunately Dexcom now wakes me so we haven’t had to do this for years. Nothing like waking up to a room full of paramedics ... [emoji853] [/QUOTE]
