Hi Andybee so glad things turned out ok, but sorry you had such a scary experience. I was diagnosed as a Type 1 3 and half years ago at age 55 by way of an emergency admission to A & E with Ketoacidosis which I thought would be the scariest thing I would experience being a diabetic, however 2 weeks ago I was proved wrong when I had the worst hypo ever. I had tested just before my evening meal as I do every night. My reading was 5.1 so everything normal and pleasing. My control is usually pretty good. Next thing I knew my husband was pulling me up out of the chair and telling me to test. He had discovered that I had completely blacked out and was unresponsive. I tried to insist on doing a test with my insulin pen I was that confused. Eventually he managed to re test for me and my reading was 1.9! This was just 15 mins after my reading of 5.1. I cannot explain this sudden drop. Lucozade & glucogen brought me back successfully. This experience has really shaken my confidence and I am reluctant to leave the house. I have gained lots of knowledge from this forum and it has helped me no end since diagnosis, but one thing I do not understand is why is it on waking in the morning lots of us appear to experience the Dawn Phenomenon whereby the liver kicks out glucose to set us up for the day if our sugars are low. Why does the liver not do this in the above circumstances to save us having hypos? I'm obviously missing an important point, Thanks Coco
