[QUOTE="donnac1968, post: 1226498, member: 47159"] Thank you so much for all these responses. It has been really useful to know that even when sugars are running at a normal level it is still very rare to pass out. I had a bad hypo 27 years ago - it went on a lot longer and worse than any before - and that is what frightened me. I have had anxiety and panic attacks since then and my life has certainly been restricted. I run sugars above 10 constantly, I don't go abroad on holiday in case I have a hypo and no-one can understand what is going on or speak English. I never had children because I couldn't get a low enough HbA1c which in my late forties I am now regretting. I have seen many therapists but never really tackled the original incident before, so I have high hopes that this time it will help. And actually hearing of what happens if I did pass out is really useful. Basically I'm worrying about something that is highly unlikely to happen and that I wouldn't really know anything about anyway!! Thanks again, I will discuss it with the therapist and it's definitely something to work on. Best wishes Donna [/QUOTE]
