[QUOTE="micksmixxx, post: 2205884, member: 7463"] You MAY feel that you are OK with being able to function with a low blood sugar, tom58, but technically you are NOT OK. I, too, am able to function with a low blood sugar level. In fact, just over a week ago, I was attending a foot clinic appointment when I felt "low". My blood sugar level was 3.6 mmol/l and was treating the same by taking some Dextrose tablets. Unfortutunately, by the time I got home, my blood sugar level had fallen to less than 2.0 mmol/l, so I took some more Dextrose tablets AND ate my lunch. Within a matter of minutes I lost consciousness, which resulted in my wife needing to give me a glucagon injection. This has occurred on several occasions. In fact, several weeks ago I was again attending a hospital appointment and 'came round' to find paramedics treating me. They stayed with me for around about an hour, after also having given me a glucagon injection. This was after having giving me an intravenous glucose injection and me not recovering sufficiently to be able to discharge me home. Sadly, it is now on my record that I was treated in this way, and had insisted that I was 'well enough' to be sent home via a 'normal' ambulance. This has been going on for several years now. and my medical team have been reviewing my medications over this time, even though I was able to function 'well' in my own eyes. Do yourself a favour, my friend, and liten to those around you before something serious happens. Lots of Love and Light. Mick x x x x x x x P.S. Please don't be offended, or alarmed, at the 'x's'. It's merely a logo, of sorts, that I've used for more than 40 years now. [/QUOTE]
