Can you describe in any terms what it feels like to you as a diabetic when a hypos coming on and when was the last time you had a hypo?

I find its kind of like a gentle increase in tiredness and sleepiness, it creeps up very slowly so the difference between one moment and the next is kind of unnoticeable. But it makes me happy to stay doing what i (thought) i was doing.
Thats the beginning, later on is different. When semi-conscious i feel sort of struggly although cant focus on why. But generally i want sit/ prop myself up- probably bcos i so used to swilling coke.

Do other people similar experiences?

Have a look at this thread, you’ll see we all feel quite a lot of different sensations.

Gnawing hunger and a weird spaced out feeling are my early indicators.
 
Spaced-out feeling. Perhaps warm and sweaty and sometimes a bit shaky.
