Message: <blockquote data-quote="JayneEG4" data-source="post: 1603818" data-attributes="member: 262319">Had a very nasty scare this afternoon.My bloods around 15:00 were a bit high at 15.7 and as I was having afternoon tea with a friend and neighbour, I gave myself 6 units of NovoRapid then proceeded to drink my coffee etc.I started to feel a bit off about 20 mins later then went into the worst hypo I’ve ever had.My previous hypos have all been iatrogenic as a hospital inpatient,Never in the 20 years I’ve been on insulin have I had a hypo in normal day to day life.The shaking & sweating were horrendous and my blood glucs dropped to under 2.It took 5 chocolate bickies and 25 teaspoons of sugar in water to get any sort of control back,And only now at 22:30 are my bloods back to normal and under control.I’m as you can imagine, both very shaken and totally confused as to what could have caused this!</blockquote>
