| Hypos I've read several of the posts about hypos, and have talked with friends who've experienced co-workers or friends who have gone so low that they could not function on their own, and had to have medical help.
Granted, I've only been diagnosed about 10 months, but I can feel my hypos coming on, and am able to treat without significant problems. The only time I've felt really nervous was waking up in a cold sweat...the lowest reading I've had is 36. The idea of going low during the night is what I fear most (but the 3 or 4 times this has happened I was able to treat on my own).
But, like I said...I've heard enough accounts of people going too low during the "awake" hours to not take the idea seriously. My question is, are some of these hypos not recognized by the body....how quickly do you go from self-sufficient to barely functioning to danger zone?
(and I know it's not an exact science from person to person...just interested in your experiences!)
thanks! |
