Yeah, it was quite scary.....Tank you for writing :)<br />Yeah, it was quite scary.. and it was the first one at school. Mum said I was stressed because I had 2 exams later on that day and that I was getting anxious.. but there is a load of other reasons too. I'm sure as I grow up with it I'll be able to control them and get out of hypo's more quicker, but for the time being I just have to learn! How are your levels when you have to do exams?? <br /><br />Jaz :DJazzy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038316537218519127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539876924169221840.post-54694126475210287082012-05-11T20:33:50.514+02:002012-05-11T20:33:50.514+02:00oh im renowned for my hypos lol two of my most mem...oh im renowned for my hypos lol two of my most memorable was a 1.3 in year 1 i was too young to understand hypo symptoms so my headteacher went hannah you ok and i collapsed at his feet he had to carry me through the dining hall. the other was in year 10 so i was about 15 and i was dehydrated and it was a boiling hot day and my sugars dropped really really quickly so i didnt get any symptoms till i passed out was out for about 25 minutes.<br /><br />all my friends are used to them now (i have a lot due to stress) and know i can take care of myself and that if i need them ill ask for help my new friends when i moved to college were a bit worried at first but know now im ok at dealing with it :) but i can imagine how scary they can be if youre not used to themType1teenagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422757118447258507noreply@blogger.com
