[QUOTE="Discovery22, post: 1988391, member: 495383"] Hi all, 2 days ago I had a severe hypo that happened in just a couple of minutes. Luckily I managed to get 3 fast acting glucose tablets down me before collapsing on the bed. My other half came home and although I could hear him I couldn’t move or talk. He suspected a hypo and checked my blood but I couldn’t tell him that I had used the hand he was testing on to eat my glucose tablets and would have residue. With a reading of 4.4 he thought I was ok and went downstairs. Once I could move I went down and told him and he asked what my levels were now (which were 3.1). I advised him to wash my finger before testing if it happens again. Well today my other half came with me for my appointment and you was right. The endocrinologist wants me back in hospital to do a whole load of tests....further ones for Pheochromocytoma and a 72hr fasting glucose test. He said this situation is far too dangerous and will try to find me a bed as soon as possible. He advised if I have another bad hypo in the meantime to go to A&E or call an ambulance I really don’t want to go back into hospital but he said it’s too dangerous to do the tests he wants as an outpatient Thank you all for your advise and support. It has stopped me feeling quite so lonely and it helps knowing that people understand how rubbish hypos make you feel [/QUOTE]
