I guess my intent with the post was to say the sensor can be used against you in a case like this. In this case, he is quite rightfully screwed. I've had Diabetes since 1992. The stuff that I had to use to manage my diabetes is a world away from what is used today. My parents had to pin me to the bed to give me injections from nasty syringes, no pretty pens with tiny little needle tips, huge lances to draw blood from, glucose meters that were the size of a brick and took ages to deliver a result. It's now 2024 and I have only been on a glucose sensor for two years now, and I still refuse to have a pump. So, I know what it takes to manage the condition with or without modern tech. Quote:
Personally, I decent level hypo for me can be quite a nasty feeling - - Elevated heartbeat - Lethargy - Sweating - Shortness of breath - Pins and needles in my extremities - Blurring vision (black lines in extreme cases) - Loss of coherence (extreme cases) I've been close to lights out a couple of times as well. Quite often, all of the above then leads to fatigue, headaches and exhaustion later on.
