Hi! I would like to ask you an opinion about something (I would say weird) recently happened to me. I am 31 years old diabetic (insulin dependent) since 1996 and I am injecting insulin 3 times a day (before meals) + 1 (lantus, 24h coverage). I experienced only once loss of consciousness (in 2008, when my blood sugar was 39 mg/dL... I have absolutely no memory of what happened then if not what my friends told me about... and the crazy thing is that "I" decided to make an extra shot of insulin... but I do not remember anything!!) Anyway, nothing really happened: I was just brought to the hospital where my sugar level was stabilized.
The weird thing happened more recently... I have been told from my work colleagues that I am actually stealing their cookies/sweets! Well, after the initial shock - as I could not believe it! - they decided to make a video clip and indeed it is true! I am stealing! But again, I have no memory at all about these episodes (which seemed to happen quite often). After I was told about this fact, which usually happened in the evening (around 6 pm), I started to measure my suger level more often (actually, I have to say that I do it to rarely: about once a week, as I always say "well, I feel if I go down or up!") and it resulted that I was always around 50 mg/dL at around 5 pm without recognizing it at all. So, could it be that my brain somehow felt the hypo and although I was in a kind of black-out it knew that I had to take sugar? I know it sounds crazy (and for that I am gonna do some psychiatric/neurologial visit next week) and actually it is (just think: I was simply going around in the office opening drawers and searching for food!!!!), but I really do not remember that I have done it! It also happened during the night, and when I woke up I saw an empty package of biscuits or crackers without having memory of having been up in the night and done it!
How likely are these episods connected to diabetes? Or I am simply crazy??
Thanks in advance for your opinions/comments
