[QUOTE="rochari, post: 386528, member: 68255"] Hey Darren Not much I can offer here because you’ve had some great advice from the regulars. I would like to say though that these episodes can be difficult and very distressing on partners, friends etc especially seeing them for the first time. I’ve had them and they still scare the daylights out of me. The first time my partner saw me in one had a huge effect on him, much in line with what you’ve written about how you felt. Since then we have kept the small glucagon kit with us, at home and when we travel. Thankfully, it has never been used (we renew it every few years) but he says just having it there relaxes him more than anything else. When we first got the kit our GP was great and talked him through how to administer it which he says gave him a lot of confidence should it happen again. Bill [/QUOTE]
