[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 2036008, member: 488171"] It's happened to me far too many times - well into double figures. It's horrible for both parties - the anguish on one side, and the pain on the other. You want to get hold of some Glucagon - get a couple of kits from your GP (so you have a spare should you use one), shouldn't need a consultant to prescribe that. (if the GP refuses to prescribe, call the diabetes clinic and ask them what to do). If he's unresponsive, put that in (injection into thigh), then start feeding him when he comes round - which should be quick. He'll be confused, possibly nauseous, possibly stroppy, but that will pass. We had the little green men out a couple of times, but they don't really add very much - hospital visits won't help if it's a hypo. If he doesn't respond to the glucagon, then call the ambulance. [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/complications/hypos/having-a-hypo[/URL] Some good news : I have had a hypo like that twice while on my own now. Both times I woke up with a sore head and very sore tongue, but alive. The thing which has helped the most for me is getting an alarm - libre + miaomiao. I don't have problems with hypos like that any more. [/QUOTE]
