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. |
I've never lost consciousness yet, and it's a good thing--in CA, if a physician documents a lapse in consciousness, the DMV pulls the patient's drivers license.
