[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 161954, member: 6681"] Tom, I have lost consciousness twice...and both times were when I was pregnant...so I giess this will not be a concern for you :D I once had a serious hypo overnight...but did wake up. Stupidly, I din't have any glucose next to teh bed, and had to drag myself to teh kitchen. It took ages, I was hanging on to the wall shaking...but I got there, and I was ok after about an hour. I believe that your liver reacts to the low blood sugar, (something to do with glycogen?) and will help bring your BG back up. It is scary, and feels awful, but it sounds like you are doing everything youcan to avoid it. When I lived alone, I made sure my colleaugues knew if I wasn'tgoing to be in...and if I didn't show up unexpectedly, they were to rush round with a mars bar...never needed them to do this though! I think it is very rare, take extra care if you have had a drink though (alcohol) as this can drop your BG sometimes. [/QUOTE]
