[QUOTE="alaska, post: 49876, member: 14213"] Your hypos sound quite similar. One of my best warning signs is that I yawn a lot. If i feel tired at an unusual time i make sure i do a test. I've been caught out too many times. I've had times when I've thought shadows were people hiding and got paranoid. I once jumped back and forwards in time. This was really scary. I was convinced I'd gone a week back in time. I was reading a book and the blood sugars dropped and I thought I'd gone back in time to a different place in the book. I realised later that this must have been a memory from when i was last looking at that book which was about the same kind of time i thought i'd jumped back to. It was when i jumped forward again in time that i got really freaked. i wanted to die because i couldn't trust one minute to follow the next. at this point a little common sense kicked in and i phoned my dad and then ate some sweets and got back to normal. Hypos have caused me break downs in relationships. I was out in town with my girl and she didn't feel safe around me when i went low. I hadn't done anything wrong but she wasn't comfortable with me not having full control of what i was saying and doing. it frightened her. She said she could never see me again but luckily we have. I hated having type 1 for a long time after that. I used to be really bad at picking up on hypos. I would have difficulty speaking or reading and would blame myself rather than my blood sugars. this changed when one of my colleagues (also type 1) said she always blamed the type 1 for any time she wasn't feeling right. I've decided to copy this and it's working well. my awareness of hypos is better now. has anyone had the "i believe i am god" hypo experience? i had one after chemistry one day. i really belived i'd found nirvana and then finally woke up to the fact that i was just low on sugar. sometimes hypos can bring out some new ideas. a lot of them are rubbish but at the time you believe they're life changing.
