[QUOTE="Jemma85, post: 58924, member: 15739"] Hi Marie, I agree- I am sorry that you are having such a hard time but it is refreshign to hear that someone is having the same thing! I must admit that prior to the summer, despite having it for 14 years I was not even aware that diabetes could cause fits so had even convinced myself I had epilepsy!! I thankfully have only had 3 fits that I am aware of, but on all 3 occasions the feelings of confusion were immense. It took me a good few hours in A & E to piece together what day it was, my sisters 21st had been a few days before and I had real trouble even recalling if it had been her birthday yet. You sound like you have been very confused aswell, I now live with a friend but was thankful to be living with my family when these fits occurred to bring me round! Are your hypo symptoms in the day still prominent? Mine have never gone in the day so thankfully no fits in the day. Now im on levemir the dips in the night I was suffering from seem to have completely gone. Have you tried to change the type of insulin at all? Did you get your sleep symptoms back when you were on the pump? Good to hear about your licence, DVLA are just soo slow and I get a different story on the progress everytime I ring up, very very frustrating!! I am suprised at how little has been written about the occurence of fits with diabetes! Also even my diab doctor seemed to be a little confused on the issue which was a bit worrying. Take care, Jemmax [/QUOTE]
