I was breathing REALLY hard for the amount of running that I did. I even remember thinking "Wait... I'm not out of breath"THEN it hit me... I got extremely dizzy, started sweating, felt sick and my ears started ringing and going deaf. My vision started to get splotchy, and I got that…See More

TimmyMac replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'Glucagon Survey'"Yeah same here. My parents used to get glucagon kits. But stopped buying them because I have never had a severe enough low to require one (I've had severe lows < 20 but I was always conscious enough to treat myself)
