The other night I had a hypo and passed out with it , my blood sugar went below zero and it came up LO on my monitor. I was out for 12 minutes can anybody advise what I should do. My GP has not diagnose me with diabetes but says I could be borderline, it's so frustrating I can go for months without having a hypo and then all of a sudden within minutes it comes on, this is very scary for me please help.

Give your doctor a call @Elaine G Its important you get checked out so that you can see what's going on. what you've described isn't normal, so give your GP a call and get some further advice and tests if necessary.
 
that does sound strange, a blood sugar level like that with no medication.....

its the medication that causes hypos.....

definitely needs to be looked in to......:)
 
If you can, keep testing if you feel dodgy and of course before and between meals.......if you can spare the strips....

If it happens again or you really do feel 'not right', then it may be worth giving your surgery another call and ask for an earlier appointment, or to speak on the phone to a doctor or senior nurse there.

Because you can't get an appointment, think about going to a walk in centre, after hours or a&e, or phone an ambulance.
Your health is paramount, and you need to be checked out!

Best wishes!
