I got to the point that my whole body felt paralyzed. <BR/>Thank goodness my mum was there (we had gone for a drive, pretty far from home, and were in a pub about to order lunch) and she quickly got some sweet soda for me to drink. She had to put the straw in my mouth because I couldn't lift my head up from the table or move my hands to hold the glass. It took me several hours to recover from that. It was very scary! <BR/>Another time I ended up with a panic attack just because of a hypo. I didn't get the shaking feeling just the feeling of passing out and by the time I got to my BG Monitor I was having a panic attack. <BR/>After that first time I get really scared when I feel a hypo coming on but I don't let it get to the stage of adding a panic attack to it anymore. :-)Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898895546212804653noreply@blogger.com
