Hiya deedee, I'm sorry you had to experience a insulin reaction while your trying to get blood work done, I can imagine how embarrassing and annoying that was for you. I relate to having low's (as my name states), in the past year alone I have passed out 15+ times from hypo's. I have had people tell me I start acting all crazy, running into walls, convulsion's, acting drunk, chewing on a screwdriver and a number of other wild things. I guess I should state before others form a opinion about my control, I have been a Type 1 since I was 7, I test blood sugars at least 5 times a day, I exercise regularly and count carbs, I'm on Humalog/ Lantus and my last aic was 5.3. Unfortunately I have lost the majority of my awareness to low's, so when I drop anymore I usually drop hard and pass out. I wish I could tell you it will get better, but it won't, you can try to control it the best you can and hopefully you will be able to, but with this disease there are no guarantees on anything. Heh, didn't mean to go on rambling, just wanted to let you know your not alone and these things happen, we just have to look to other diabetics for support, since nobody else could ever understand what we go through. Take care
