I never really needed much help for a low for the first 12 years or so. Probably because much of that time I was so out of control and running high anyway. It was only after I became hypo unaware that I needed help. I live alone and unfortunately, my first really bad low (seizures) happened at home, alone. I've had several episodes like that over the past 5 years or so and luckily my body eventually helped me out enough so I could move and get some sugar.

At work I've passed out maybe 4-5 times, requiring a 911 call. Only once was I taken to the ER and the other times they brought me out of it at work. A couple years ago I passed out at my sister's house during a party for my niece. One time I accompanied my mother to her eye doctor appointment for a procedure she was having, and passed out there. My sister has gotten food/soda into me several times when I was with her and barely conscious.

I've been pumping for a year now (5/16 is my 1st year anniversary) and have not needed any help at all this past year. After the previous 6 years of hypo ****, this last one has been a breeze.
