[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2060518, member: 503481"] I hope you're okay I survived a catastrophe but I've not been the same person since that accident. I happened to be running low, but at the same time I was feeling tired so you'd think if you're tired, you'd take a nap and thats what I wrongly did. It was also quite sad that the GP at the time didn't prescribe me enough test strips to test. As soon as I climbed in bed, I don't know how long it took the paramedics to get me to come back, but I woke up to see a party in my room. One was looking at the time, one was managing the administration of glucose and one was writing all my details. If I'm correct, I was so slow that my body told me "hey girl we are preserving some energy, you might feel tired" and then during my blackout it was trying to shut down slowly because it didn't have enough glucose to keep all the organs running. Few years on, lots of therapy, lots of appointments along with dafne I am doing a tad better, I am taking on each day at a time and I have come across a nice group of chums on this forum, because I have lost a few "friends" on the way. My new consultant seems okay, I'm hoping he can provide more help and insight because no T1 diabetic should be going through this. I know we can go low, but it shouldn't be low to the point where you can't assist yourself. Look after yourself and have some rest :) Our livers need recharging as well. [/QUOTE]
