[QUOTE="chloe1, post: 523520, member: 28559"] I had a hypo which I just couldn't sort out with the usual dextrose and biscuits. At the same time I started to get nausea so found it difficult to eat anything more. My husband called an ambulance and I was taken to a and e as they couldn't get levels up. Then I was stuck in a cubicle and ignored. I had my glucose machine with me and kept testing but still the same. I knew I had dextrose in my bag but I was getting confused so couldn't find it. I was now feeling very sleepy, so laid down on the bed, but I knew I should try and get some sugar in me. I managed to get up and find a nurse to ask for some sugar. She said she would try and find me something to eat. I was treated like I was a nuisance, and it was my fault. After a while they brought me a banana and a chocolate bar. I was now feeling very sick and I just couldn't eat it although I tried as hard as I could. I begged them to give me some glucagon or something to sort me out. I heard the nurse go away and discuss about me with the doctor. Her opinion was that it wouldn't do any good as I need to look after myself better, and make an effort. I had never been to a and e for this before, and kept telling them that this was not a normal hypo, and I feel like I need to vomit. They kept telling me that I feel sick because of the hypo. Eventually they brought me some glucagon and put me on a drip. Just as they were injecting I projectile vomited over the nurse and doctor. They were not happy and went to change their clothes. I was left there covered in vomit, and had to go and ask for some wipes to clean myself up. I then asked to be discharged. It turned out I had noro virus, my daughter had it as well the next day. The hypo was not my fault, and I was made to feel it was. I have never felt so scared or unsafe in my life and wish I had stayed at home and treated it myself. I have told my husband that unless I am unconscious never to call an ambulance again.
