Just back from a 4 day admission of prolonged hypos (joy of gliclazide...)
However it was the worst spell I've had yet, involving an admission to resus for one, and another episode of complete unconsciousnes for a fairly substantial length of time. Hypos requiring 3rd part assistance and involving complete prolonged unconsciousness (and the information I was very very lucky to be in hospital at the time...) is not something I've had this level of experience before and am quite frankly terrified. I'll be back on the gliclazide (lower dose) soon, and whilst a lot of things were going on which between them are thought to have caused the hypos, the irrational part of me is so scared this will happen again.
Does anyone have experience of this and advice how to cope either physically or psychologically. For one thing, I know hypos make me tearful and over emotional, which is probably why I'm crying as write this, but think even accounting for that this will be worrying me for a while.
