[QUOTE="Timostags, post: 1915017, member: 490251"] In 17 years of very badly managed diabetes I have only had the 1 hypo where I lost consciousness. I have no idea what level my BG dropped to, the only thing I remember is coming round to a paramedic in front of me. I was taken to hospital given an ECG and let out within an hour. I do get aggressive if my hypo gets to a point where I need assistance. I'm a very stubborn man who finds it hard to accept I need help and that diabetes has won this battle. I also always remember having a bad hypo as a child not long after being diagnosed and my Mum thinking I needed more insulin - so I guess I see it as a survival instinct not to trust anyone but myself when feeling volunerble...and I might have a cry later on. Good luck with the awareness, how much higher did the DN recommend? [/QUOTE]
