[QUOTE="ElenaP, post: 2656413, member: 67557"] I am pleased that your mother was with you. Bad hypos do give you chest pains and make your heart race. A few years ago, before I had either Libre or Dexcom, I woke in the early hours with very bad chest pains. I knew that I ought to perform a finger-prick test but I passed out before I managed that. Fortunately, my liver compensated with glucose, and I came to several hours later. I woke up with a very bad headache and glucose readings of 24. It was after that episode that I started to self-fund Libre. Now I rely on Dexcom (on prescription). I certainly hope not to have to repeat that painful experience. I am still amazed that I didn't die. [/QUOTE]
