Hi All,


My partner, who has been Type 1 for 10 years and normally has reasonable good control had a very scary hypo around 3am last night, where his entire body started to twitch quite violently. While we have been together for 4 years I haven't known or seen anything like last night before.

So I suppose what I'm asking is; Has anyone else had an experience of twitching or fits with a hypo?
 
Many years ago, my T1 husband had a full on fit, which included foaming at the mouth. Only our ,then, 4 year old was with him, but she managed to get help from the supermarket manager and he did all the right things.
Since then he's had a few nasty ones, but usually he just gets cranky or silly. 3 to 4 in the morning is the favourite time.
going on to lower insulin doses and lowered carbs seems to help. there haven't been many lately.
 
Hi Hanadr,

Do you know if fits are brought on by going extremely low or are they just another (horrible) way of the body letting you know you are low.
