I don't have many real hypos - I'm thinking less than 3.5 say. Most are when exercising - gardening, DIY , and walking.
Last night I was on the return leg of a 2.5 mile walk when I began to get warnings. At first I ignored it as logically "I couldn't possibly be going low". Wrong. I sat down & took 3 glucose tablets. Waited 10 minutes & decided to go on, but after another 100 metres had to sit down again & take a couple more. I was probably only 500 metres from the car but it felt like 5 miles. When I eventually got there I waited another 20 minutes to be sure of being safe to drive. Today I feel exhausted even after a nights sleep.
Will I never learn to respect those warning signs..?!
Anyone else have similar experiences?
