[QUOTE="picklebean, post: 458302, member: 38236"] I had a fit a couple of times when having a low blood sugar during my teenage years but not since then. They always accompanied not having woken up from being asleep whilst going hypo. All other times I recognise the symptoms of the hypo and treat it before I get low enough to get to the 'fitting' stage. I don't think it's 'common' as such but it does happen and I know I always felt awful for a few days afterwards when it happened to me, like my limbs were super heavy when I tried to move and I also bit my tongue badly or had injuries from bashing into furniture. I thought a fit usually only happens when the blood sugar gets VERY low.... like down below 2.0 rather than just, say, 3.2 for example, which for a lot of diabetics is fairly 'treatable' with the normal methods. Are you not getting hypo symptoms when your sugar levels drop below 4? Or is it that you're having a fit at these 'higher' low levels? (I hope that made sense!) o_O [/QUOTE]
