Glad to read someone was there to help you with a hypo. CheersWoke as normal 6am
Had breakfast
Arrived at supermarket by 7am
Finished a bit later at the supermarket than normal due to only 1 check out and there seem to be a lot more people shopping - even the self check-out had queues.
Read paper - then decided to do a big thorough tidy & clean of bedroom and office space 10.00.
Finished around 1.30 ish and had lunch which was a later than normal.
Felt on the tired side so decided to get in to bed to watch up some catch up TV.
Around 4.20pm left sleepy but decided to continue watching
Next thing I know I have someone shouting at me and I seem to be on the floor (according to them this was round 6.30pm) trying to get me to consume sweet things - but my brain was saying your in bed (as my duvet had followed me to the floor and the person had placed the pillows also on the floor) and you are dreaming you are in the floor so don't worry but eat the sweet item as it's a dream so no worries and it will stop them shouting at you!
I reasoned it was a dream as how can I be in the floor and the room looked different to normal (as i don't normally sit on the floor in my bedroom) as things not in their normal place (remember I did a big tidy up so moved things).
After while I thought maybe this isn't a dream and this is real and then certain things in the room started to look a bit familiar.
So yes I came round (no abmbulance needed) but was still very clammy and cold but ate some more food.
Test before bed high (16.3) so took a token injnection 4 units and finall fell a sleep even though feeling cold still and sick due to being high. Woke around 1.30ish did another test and still felt sick 11.3 but decided to leave the level as is
Woke this morning 7.5 but still not 100% feeling great.
So I think a combination of the extra cleaning and the historic drop off a cliff bloods 5 hours after eating caused the awful Hypo. I must now address this drop of the cliff issue as I have been just dealing with it as i am normally wake at 5pm/6pm so can spot it. Please note when I did bring this sudden drop up with the consultanct it was dismissed and subject was changed by the consultant.
Before anyone asks I have been told by Abbot the Libre doesn't suit so they don't recomment it for me so that is not an option - testing and various ideas need to be acted on and report produced in the hope either i fine a solution or can present the consultant to look at and not dismiss.

When you say "Drop Off the Cliff issue" is this something that's happening regularly? If so, what usually happens?
What a horrible hypo you had! I've had three like these in 32 years & wouldn't want to ever experience it again, hopefully I won't as being using libre 2 for over a year now.
Would your health board fund a different type of sensor/cgm for you?
Could you eat 10/15g of carbs around 4pm to avoid the drop? I used to experience the same, pre-pump & it was the only thing that worked for me.
Hope you are feeling better now.
Hi, I had 1/2 unit pens through my GP, it could be worth a try. I have no experience of fiasp so not sure if they are prefilled pens or not?Hi Soplewis
yes I normally do have a snack when I checkimg my levels are dropping but yesterday I had fallen asleep so wasn't awake.
In regard to another CGM I am hopefully with the new NICE guidance that I may be able to get the dexcom but I will need to prepare lots of results and all the things I have tried before I think they will even consider it as they wouldn't even consider giving me a half unit pen.
but thanks for the thought/suggestion.
Hi EllieMHi @Soplewis12 I've had a few (luckily only a very few) hypos like that, and none since I got my dexcom. Have your team offered you a pump?
And yes, quite a few of my "bad" (help/ambulance needing) hypos have been because I napped during the day. I also find that I get incredibly vivid dreams when hypo....
Good luck. (I hate hypos).
My basal b4 pump was lantus prefilled pens & was in 0.5 measures, such a shame you don't have a more empathetic consultant.@Soplewis12
It is this basal I need in half units as sure this is my issue but the consultant has said no. Fi-Asp I get in vials so have a half unit syringe so no issues there.
