Up again but tending towards 13 and above.sorry to hear that happened for you... they can certainly make you feel unwell. Has your sugar level come up?

Didn't get a chance.Just curious. Did you manage to test how low it went?
Didn't get a chance.
Hi, I hope you are feeling much better now. I too bad my worst hypo ever on 31st December & found similar feelings of humiliation. I kept crying & saying sorry once my sugars were on the way up. I find it sad that it makes you feel that you are in the wrong.I went on shift today...only to suffer probably the worst hypo of my life! I came home two hours ago and I am still not on top of this. This is truly humiliating, I made sure I was ready for this shift, only to fall on my face.

I planned ahead for the shift, and yet the hypo was truly spectacular! My face, lips and tongue were numb so I could not speak, I thought I was having a stroke!! Rational thought went out the window. A recent blood test displayed high levels of cortisol, which caused concerns. I am being tracked to observe the levels.Hi, I hope you are feeling much better now.

I try to be optomistic, yet I have actually been cautioned on a shift for being in a hypo. The union had a fit when they heard this!! The individual was advised to resign or face legal action.Are you physically active at work? This makes you more sensitive to insulin and can bring your sugars down.
Please don't blame yourself. Sometimes diabetes just does bizarre things we can't predict, and even at other times we can't be expected to be flawless all the time.
Leslie, I said the exact same thing, that I thought I was having a stroke! Couldn't talk, couldn't move but onwards and upwards now! Keep positive.I planned ahead for the shift, and yet the hypo was truly spectacular! My face, lips and tongue were numb so I could not speak, I thought I was having a stroke!!
