[QUOTE="Riri, post: 223621, member: 32297"] Hello - I used to have goodish hypo awareness and would defiantly feel shakey etc. at 3.2. However last Christmas I had literally no hypo warning and fell unconscious and ended up in casualty. This was the first time in 12 years this had happened. Ever since then my confidence has been shattered and I fear passing out again more than anything. Now, because I test so often, I hardly give myself a change to go low. However the other day I felt mildy queasy (nothing like I felt with a hypo before) and I was at 3.6. The other problem I have is that lucoazde/dextrose/jelly babies don't seem to always get me out of hypo as quickly as they used to so I panic. Sometimes it can take 20-40 minutes for my numbers to move from 3.6 to 4.2 - they even dip below 3.6 after taking the fast acting glucose. My diabetes team are aware of this but offer no real advice on this issue. [/QUOTE]
