I'm feeling so sick, my sugar levels are darting from highs to lows too much. I had 2 hypos today which don't even have an reason for happening in the first place, I got so upset with that that I burst into tears.
Hypo's aren't fun. I had the worst one only last week, my sugars sky rcketed high and I took more insulin to lower it asap as you do. It worked, then I took my baseline injection which keeps the levels at the same so there aren't any highs or lows, I just take my other insulin to counteract the carbohydrates I eat in return so effectively its a fake pancreas.
Some time later, my sugar levels were dropping rapidly ...this being 3am....I was in bed....trying to sleep. I monitored it for starters nd it stuck at 0.1......normal healthy levels are between 4-7
in the minus range (-1) you go comatose, I was not far.....but my baseline injection kept it at level for 5 hours........no sugar I ate brought it back up
The thing about 0level hypo's:-
Constant shaking
Cold sweat
Light headedness
Loss of balance
The world moves around you
Throat feels like its swelling
Can't breathe
Woozy
Dizzy
Heart pounding
Feel the heart pounding in the head
Can't do anything like sleep it off when it gets that bad
You look like you're acting drunk
Can't administer a sugar injection to oneself
Can't ring for help
Flat was empty
Couldn't even cry
5 hours of that and more, I thought I was going to go into a coma - which when you do leaves you not long to be found and saved......I wrote a note on my white board saying I couldn't move out of place - it didn't even read that.
I'm not sure how much more to take, other than that, I'm being stalked out of work on fridays.....I get easily paranoid, I've started seeing and hearing things and it's driving me insane - so many panic attacks now...
I can't wait to move out on tuesday - heaven sent - until Saturday but we'll see how that goes I guess.
