Oh god yes--as if it were yesterday. Actually it was less than 3 months ago--LOL!!!

But I had been reading about insulin shock/hypos and I thought that will never happen to me--I can't even get my numbers below 300!!! Well, that was before my endo determined I was type 1.5 and added Novolog to the Lantus. My Lantus dosage had gone up to 30 units by that point and she neglected to drop it down now that I on Novolog. So I dose with 30 units (for reference--7-9 units is a proper Lantus dosage for me!) and go to bed. Wake up in the wee hours DRENCHED--had to towel off was sweating so badly. Shaking I think "this must be a hypo!" Test. 58. Drink a glass of apple juice, crawl back in bed. Wake up, test. 75. Felt fine so head off to the gym without eating (no-one ever told me not to!). Come back from a 2.5 hour cardio/weights/walking workout. Test. 50!!! And I felt just fine! Ooops!

That was the first.
