Migraine following a hypo?

Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone else has had, or is having migraines following a hypo? I've never suffered migraines before but have recently had three all following a hypo (3.3 was the lowest reading). Migraines have come on the following morning and I've found them really debilitating and have spent most of the day throwing up . Blood sugars have managed to stay fairly stable during the sickness sickness is the real worry as I have had an episode of DKA following severe sickness.

I'm on Lantus (taken first thing in the morning) and Apidra throughout the day.

Anyone suffered like this ?

Rachel

Thanks Sandy,

I wasn't sure if it was a usual thing for some people following a hypo or not. It sounds as if you get it really bad. I have gone back to bed with the blinds and curtains drawn to try to alleviate it and only been able to stomach boiled water and a little lucozde.

I think I'm going to go back to my GP to discuss suitable medication both for the migraine and the sickness. I really need to have something at hand should I feel it coming on. I'll also discuss with my DSN when I pop in.

Thanks again for your advice, I'm new to the forum (had diabetes 12 years) but am finding the info described and support on here fantastic and a real help in managing my control and life.
