[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1105802, member: 211362"] oh one very important thing I forgot to mention.... my endo said that by the time you experience your first hypo symptom, you have already lost your judgment. He said your judgment is the first thing to be affected and the last thing to return when you recover from a hypo. I thought I was smart one day and jumped in my car and drove home 10 mins after treating my hypo as I felt I was starting to feel ok. I told him about that and asked why was I feeling ok then? He said I may have thought I was ok, but he said in fact it takes a minimum of half an hour for your judgment to return... so wait minimum of half an hour before you drive or do anything else that may be risky. I definitely proved his point as it was bad judgment for me to think I could drive... especially when I should've waited minimum of 15 mins to check my sugar again. Thankfully I only drove down 2 streets to reach my destination and got there in one piece. My endo trains other docs to become endo's. He's one of our best where I live. [/QUOTE]
