Hypo awareness.......

Hi I must admit I have been like that in work, I work in a very busy pharmacy and at one point I couldn't even talk after dealing with a patient lucky the pharmacist grabbed some glucogel!

Hi I work outdoors and since we've had a long warm summer, and when I finish for a break and have a cuppa, I can't cool down, then I realise that my blood sugar is low. Always keep some glucose sweets handy.
At home, I sit with the back door open whilst the wife is huddled over the fire in the living room.
I am very bad at remembering proper nouns especially names. It can be embarrassing, when you get your kids and grandkids names wrong. or is it than I'm just getting on a bit?
Don't let your work get in the way of your treatment, they should understand and even though you might not want it, give you a lot of leeway, especially when you are having a hypo.

As a one-off I wouldn't worry too much about it but should it happen again I would seek guidance from your diabetes team, 1.7mmol is really low not to recognize the usual hypo awareness symptoms.

I know what you mean, I used to be in the same line of work and this happen to me once or twice, but never that bad. It may be an idea to pass the call on to you line manager if a cal starts to drag.
