Quite right too! I think the reason I fell for my husband was because I took a deep breath and told him on our first date and he seemed genuinely interested! Clueless, yes, but interested ;-) he's now a hypo treating pro! Now I just need to find another job prospect (how can they not retract the job offer now?!) and all will be well in my little worldNo.
Yes.
No. ( It was obvious from the look on his face that his " Nutter" detector was going off big time, and he was blaming beer goggles for arranging to meet me)
No big loss, if someone is that judgemental at the outset, I can't be ars*d to educate them

Oh Lordy!! Were you on your own? Years ago I fell over in Boots and ended up surrounded by lots of helpful people, all convinced I'd bumped my head as I was being so vacant!I had a hypo in the middle of primary one Christmas doing my shopping then black out they dragged me to the side of the shop and I was that hot I started stripping I didn't have a clue what I was doing it was so embarrassing
On a first date
I rolled up staggering like Patsy of Ab Fab fame, slurring my words, then headed into a corner shop and turned into Wolf Woman trying to scoff my way out of the hypo

That's the one. Yes... Do loads of research. See what people on the pump forum think of the latest version. My dsn wasn't that bothered about my changing from the veo to another pump because of the advances the other glucose monitors have made.Stoke Mandeville - is Medtronic the paradigm veo one? I like the idea of the insulin suspend pump option but will continue to do research..
Sounds awful :-( I think the worse thing is when you can't remember. I couldn't remember where I had parked my car! The woman with me must have thought I was mental! I tend to get upset too when low but thankfully I didn't start blubbing - I've been googling my legal rights incase they try to fire me before I even officially start the job!Worst place it happened for me was in Heathrow Airport years ago. Took my Novorapid, started dinner immediately and I still haven't a clue how the hypo hit me so quickly especially as blood was around 7 when I took it (might have been the time-change as we'd just landed after an 8 hour flight).
This was a bad one and I am sure you know that horrible feeling when you realise you are about to start fitting. Off I went. I remember my mate trying to get me to drink warm water with a lot of sugar from the restaurant. He'd to hold the glass as I couldn't - those hands were jumping all over the place. I also remember a man pulling me down onto the ground and I was trying to resist. I did begin to come out of it as two para-medics came rushing up although I couldn't quite figure out where I was as I didn't recognise anything. No wonder, the restaurant staff had screened me off from public view!
The guy who'd got me onto the ground thought I was having a heart attack despite my mate's assurance that it was a hypo. Seems I punched him right on the nose and the blood all over the floor was his. I still feel bad about that.

Thanks all! I feel a bit better about it today and I emailed my new job to confirm start date so even if the people I saw think I'm mad/was drunk they haven't told me not to turn up in March! Still not sure I ever want to go back there though ;-)
Thanks, glad to be back, need to realise there is more to life than a stressful job! I am seriously considering not taking the new job after what happened, I am worried it was the stress and worry that brought on the low? I can't be sure but there must be more to life!!You'll be fine, btw nice to see you posting again Debs
