| My first hypo was a biggie! I was still in the hospital for diabetes education, and it was my first or second day on insulin. I had to go get an x-ray for my kidneys (my kidneys were messed up long before Diabetes came knocking at my door) and I was standing in front of the x-ray machine and I remember feeling sort of dizzy, and then feeling nauseous. The x-ray technician was like "just hold on ONE more minute and then we'll come see what's wrong, hold still" and then it was one, two, three, Erin's down for the count.
At least I was already in the hospital! But nobody seemed to know what they should do, except my mom, who ran and grabbed somebody's sugar packets (it's a hospital x-ray department waiting room... lots of people had coffee) and she dumped them into my mouth (even though you're not supposed to do that when the person is passed out). I woke up pretty much immediately, and was like "I TOLD you I didn't feel well"
