[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1759883, member: 185674"] Ufgh, that was a nasty experience! Been real down myself a couple of times though never been in coma or brought to hospital. Don't know why, but I have even bee below 1 mmol/L a couple of bad times and still managed staying conscious and battling it through with some fast acting liquid sugars like Isostar and Gatorade. But now back to your specific situation. Long day, stress, tired, skipping/delaying meals, etc. All brings along increased risks of ignoring/skipping signs of a coming hypo. Good actually that your brother didn't poor down some liquids/sugars into your mouth, as it sounds you might even have been in state of hypo induced coma? If you cant eat/drink yourself, don't have anybody putting anything into your mouth. Risk of suffocation is real! If you are otherwise a healthy normally well regulated diabetic, then even a rather bad hypo will typically go over by itself when your body starts to counter react with endorphins and liver glucose dump. That said, never anything to play around with! And you will always feel very miserable both during and after. As you are on fast acting insulin, then it should be obligatory to have one of these babies always in your house: [IMG]http://resources.mynewsdesk.com/image/upload/c_limit,dpr_1.0,f_auto,h_700,q_auto,w_690/py02vzlmqzdnriablgfn.jpg[/IMG] It is an emergency glucagon kit, (a hypokit) which is really super easy to use. Also for your family members, girlfriend etc, just in case you need it. It takes literally less than 1 minute to get it in. Remove the two caps, push the needle into the vial, down the plunger, shake it around a few seconds to dissolve the glucagon, then pull back into the syringe. Find a decent area of skin, inject and you are done. Have one of these laying in your fridge just in case and doesn't cost much. [/QUOTE]
