[QUOTE="Tanny35, post: 1181895, member: 294896"] Glad your little girl was ok through it :) I have been diabetic for 30 years. My worst hypo happened last year. I've never experienced anything like it. It was early morning and my alarm went off, I remember thinking I will snooze for 5 mins! For the next 2-3 hours I was in and out of consciousness, I could hear my phone ringing, but couldn't register anything. Then all of a sudden I jumped up in a panic. Realising I was late for work. And it was like a movie had been slowed right down, I couldn't function properly at all. I went to stand up and fell over (ended up hitting my eye on the corner of my drawers - and had a black eye). I couldn't even pick my phone up. I thought I was having a stroke. My speech went slurred too, like when someone has a stroke. Rang 999 they came and I was hypo! Got tested for signs of a stroke (I'm only 35) so they said it was unlikely, but got a full MOT and all came back clear. That really scared me. And now I get afraid if I'm left alone in my sleep. It's mad what hypos can do to us. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app [/QUOTE]
