Discussion Has anyone had clinically low blood sugar? How did you feel?

[VioletWitch]

I'm curious because I've seen online that it can be unpleasant, which I don't want, confusion and seizures. I've got a significant amount of insulin, well over 1000u. I've also got a couple pills of Xanax, not enough to do anything by itself, but enough to keep me calm I think? I've read about people doing this method, and a nurse doing it to people, so it seems like it's probably reasonably quick, 12-24 hours?

I felt like shit. Dizzy, sick to my stomach. Not unbearable but not a lot of fun.

It looks you're having a nightmare while dying. My father had low blood sugar sleep seizure when his blood sugar medicine wasn't dosed correctly. We called 911, the paramedics came, they gave him some Coca-Cola and he woke right up. So, be careful. Someone with a soda could easily rain on your parade if they walk in on you soon enough...

You feel miserable! When mines is low, I get nauseous, so hot it's uncomfortable, headache, and the shakes. If it keeps going after that I become severely confused. I have passed out a few times over the years, but I always carry snacks to prevent this. I'm not diabetic, but my blood sugar us always low. Oh, and when it's gets too low, it's takes so long to come back up.

It really is miserable.

When this happens, nauseated, tired, drained, heart beating, body aches... I have what's known as low blood pressure so this usually happens.
