[QUOTE="berylc, post: 2214864, member: 42210"] Hello everyone. I've not been on here for a while. But back again. As the heading said I was getting towards a hypo in Wick. I'd got the ferry from Orkney to Scrabster, had a wonderful bacon roll (sorry white bread) and a double espresso. The boat started to get a bit bumpy, so I stretched out across the 3 seats and controlled my breathing to the motion of the boat, so I didn't meet my roll and coffee again. Boat finally docked and I got taxi to Wick, then had 2 hrs wait for train. Walked into a shop and thought I felt a bit weird. Tested and was 4.2 so went to cafe and took a tunnocks chocolate marshmallow type thing and eat it whilst I was waiting to be served. Sat down with an cup of black tea. After 15 mins tested again and down to 3 something. So walked a short distance to Boots. Tested again 2 something. Waiting in long queue to see pharmacists and I was shaking, sweating, very anxious and very scared. Tested again and 1.9. I know there is allowance for error in the machines. I staggered to an assistant who took one look at me and helped me to a chair. I know I wasn't making much sense, but I had the wit still to show her my readings. She gave me a bottle of pepsi, followed by about 5g of chocolate she had and a dextrose tablet. After a while,with her waiting with me and the pharmacists checking I left at 9.2 So was that a real hypo? [/QUOTE]
