Ok, hide sight is a wondrous thing, and as those on chat know I've had a few hypos in my time. Anyhow, some of them tended to turn out quiet amusing, and since many on here seem to fear hypos, thought why not bring out the funny side of them a bit. Or just use them to spot the major mistakes I made which caused them. If you have some, please tag some on :)
The Easter Egg Incident:
Well, as the title says it was coming up to Easter, and I was at work alone other than the boss who popped in occasionally. He dropped in just before lunch and said he would be back to cover me in 5mins. So did my injection as was only going to run across the road to grab a sandwich when he returned.
45mins later he shows up and I seem to do pretty much a runner across the street for a sandwich (no recollection of anything from this point so all provided third party). I somehow don't make it to the sandwich shop and ended somewhere up the street talking to a friend on lunch...before disappearing.
Over an hour later the boss has got concerned so calls the police. Police are at work and boss is giving them my description when over the radio comes a message that there has been an incident involving Easter eggs at the local supermarket. The boss immediately screaming "that's him!".
Meanwhile down at the supermarket, it seems someone had decided to launch themselves into the Easter Egg display. Originally believed to be drunk, but for one shop assistant not believing so and calling the paramedics instead. That bit was all well and good, got scraped up by paramedics and such and sitting down at the hospital coming round. I start wittering stupid things about one of the paramedics being an utterly gorgeous and an angel and pretty much every stupid thing you could imagine, as the part of my brain still running on the drunken hypo state seemed to of noticed the paramedic was the girl from high school I pretty much fancied in my early teens.
Long story short, made an utter fool of myself. And don't think she saw the funny side either sadly so even stupid hypo moments don't help on dating possibilities...
Dating Possibilities...
Or maybe not! It was a hot summers day, and BG was fine as I left work and was cycling home and hind sight again is wonderful in that my levels went through the floor.
Somewhere along the way home I have that hypo fuzzy blur vision of stopping to chat with someone and it would seem getting a very fuzzy name which was Carol or Caroline and a even more fuzzy phone number written in pen on my arm.
I did somehow manage to get home and fed on auto pilot. Noticing the arm later, and the sweaty blurred mess I have utterly no idea who she was or the number as they weren't readable! My typical luck, I can only get a date maybe while having a hypo!
Wheelie Chair Wacky Races
Short one this. At the time my office was on the ground floor (might also be why they moved me upstairs). And in one of my lovely hypo moments I seemed to of took off out of work, and out the front door, on an office wheelie chair going wheeeeeeeee with feet going like a scene from the Flintstones before taking off down the Main Street in town on it.
Training Day
Was a late night at work, finishing off a few jobs and was off to go home. Usual type things, I go to the toilet before going off home...
Next think I know I'm coming round surrounded by a large crowd. The surprised look on my face was one of those concerned, what have I done this time, who are all these lot kind of moments. All turned out I had a hypo in the toilet. Unfortunately (for me) to get me out things kind of escalated when it occurred on one of the towns emergency services training day...so they all decided to come! So there's me, trousers around ankles, surrounded by 18 fire, police, ambulance and mountain rescue types wondering what the heck was going on. Luckily the toilets were going to be destroyed in building work in a couple of weeks anyhow, so guess I was just helping out :P
What a wonderful embarrassing moment!
And Finally... (Please note this one isn't one of mine, this one was donated from my diabetic nurse, and yes I've tried to keep this as "innocent" as possible)
All turns out there was a young guy at uni. and doing all the usual uni. type things, going out partying and getting rather pickled and dancing around at the local club. All turns out he met someone and ended up back at her student apartment being rather "active" ;)
Activity (of any kind) and alcohol doesn't usually mix well with us D's, so early morning he's in a hypo and wondering around a strange student apartment looking for something edible. And being a student, the cupboards are pretty much empty. All he ends up finding is a bottle of rather stale milk which he attempts to drink. Unfortunately causing vomiting and such all over the no doubt already clean student apartment.
Poor guy's getting desperate now and remembers something from the night before. Going back to the bedroom and searching around he finds some packets of "flavored colorful rubber items" which he ends up sucking on.
Long story short, seems' the "flavored colorful rubber items" carried about 10g of carbs each. Although I was never informed how he explained it to her...
