To clarify I have not been diagnosed with diabetes or has tests but mum and dad have type 2 diabetes. But I do have Crohn’s disease and asthma.
So I had a driving lesson and I had some food like two pieces of toast with butter and jam but due to stress because I had a driving test at 1:45pm I was sick but I was hoping that some of food was still in my gut, I started my lesson at 12:15pm but at 1:15pm I experienced what I assume was low blood sugar.
The symptoms I had was a hot sensation of the back of my neck, tintintius, blocked left ear and my right ear felt like it was doing the same as well, couldn’t form sentences, shakiness, lips felt dry and possibly dehydrated, felt like I was losing control of my body.
I even tried opening the window to try making myself feel better but nothing was working so I said to my instructor i don’t feel right, I feel funny and she said what you mean I explained my symptoms she said you are either having a bad anxiety attack or low blood sugar.
She said are you well enough to drive to the closest greggs and I said I should be able to do that yes and I said if I feel any worse I will pull over and swap seats with you.
My instructor bought me a sandwich and a small bottle of coke I wasn’t feeling better straight after it took at least 20 mins she wanted to cancel the test and tbf I don’t blame her I almost cancelled the test. I feel bad I have probably scarred my instructor for life :/
But if I cancelled the test I would have regretted it because I passed with 0 driving faults
I was feeling a little weird afterwards but was feeling more like myself.
I am so scared of what I was feeling I really don’t want this to EVER HAPPEN AGAIN! since my test I have been eating loads of food to avoid it but I’m scared it will happen again I am trying to book a doctors appointment but my GP don’t have any appointments for me. I haven’t stopped thinking about my low since the day I passed my driving test.
I really want to get myself checked out as fast as possible to not only ensure my safety but other people.
