So today I woke up at 4.7 then I'm pretty sure an hour later I was tossing and turning in bed, I had a dream about using acid and tripping. The only freaky thing was I wasn't asleep Fully so I got up after an hour since I tested and I was 2.2 and it seemed to make me like i was hallucinating. I put a test strip in took it out and the meter was on still, and all this other stuff that shouldn't have happened was happening, I didn't feel low anymore everything felt so weird and almost seemed like a was in a forever lasting tripp. I'm not sure what happened but it scared the living **** out of me, I literally hated this morning. I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but to mention I have t1d and have for 15 years and now I'm 21 and I'm lantis and humalog u200. Please help
 
hi there @dmoroccco
I suppose we are all a bit different but your description of a hypo at an early time in the morning does resonate with me .
I have had hypos where I have woken up and I THINK I am operating normally and getting ready for work only to find an hour has gone by and I am still in the bathroom brushing my teeth , or I am half dressed.
the mind does play tricks on us at low blood sugar levels as it is starved of the sugar it need to operate properly.

to let you know you are not alone I have dug out links to a couple of old threads on the subject of hypos , to hopefully see a lighter side to this happening ( even though it was scary at the time this morning )

and this thread too http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/worst-place.70338/
 
Thank you for your reply, yeah I suppose we are all different and that it effects us all differently. It's just really never wracking and hard to deal with. I've never had this type of hypo, plenty of other crazy ones and upsetting ones but this was a whole new story. Lucky I didn't fall or anything to serious like I read in those links but they did help and I know I'm not alone, that as a diabetic we will go low but I seem to have a low or 2 everyday and it's complexly draining me.

all of us on insulin have the potential for these type of hypos --

all we can do is try to work out what might be the cause and try to prevent it happening again.

try not to let it get to you ( hard I know )

just know there are loads of us that know what you are going through
