I've gone below 20 (1.1) a couple times. I've also hit 24 (1.3) and 26 (1.4), and been in the 30s a few times.

Eek.

Glad you were okay. Fortunately, I've remained conscious so far.
My first sub-20 drop was while awake. Brutal. Cold sweat, racing palpitations, et cetera. I consumed 150-160 grams of sugars, mostly via fruit juice, then went to sleep once I was out of the woods. Awoke a few hours later at 225 -- indicating that I needed all but about 55g of the CHO.
My second sub-20 drop was while I was asleep. I awoke, thought that I should test, did so, swore a bit, had some juice, rested quietly while waiting on the sugar, and was fine.
