Julie,
Do not fool around with this. Go Immediately to the emergency room via the the paramedics and an ambulance.
Don't ask if you should get medical help. Get it and then tell us about it.
I am serious. This is not something to fool around with.

I told her the first time she posted if her sugar got that low to call 911! I'm about 1/2 way the messages. Just wanted to give you an "Atta girl".
Don't be so sure about not being diabetic! What you've been saying sounds so much like dangerously low insulin to the point that I would be hospitalized if I was that low.
Heck, I get scared if I'm between 70-80!
Get with the program, punkin', and get some medical attention!
You were scared. I'm glad you were on-line since it didn't look like many others were.
If this ever happens again, have the person call 911, ok?
:-) you did good
Make a list of your own questions for your doctor, and make sure you get answers!
Add these maybe...
(1) what signals should alert you that you're heading for trouble
(2) If you are hypoglycemic, get a meal plan from his office.
(3) I'd sure want to have labs done, particularly an A1c to see what your
glycemic levels average for the last 3 months.
(4) Ask him why it took so long for him to call you back?
(5) If this happens again, should you just go to the ER? (They'll reach him
post-haste...of course, he may not call them back right away either. At least
you'd be under observation of an ER doc and medical staff.)
By the way, hypoglycemics go into shock or possibly a coma, too. Please be careful!
Your condition sure scared me the first time you posted. I'm surprised that you
let it go this far. :-)
Good thing the baby wasn't with you. Did you take the baby to grandma's because you didn't feel well? Did your husband drop the baby off there? I'm confused. Why didn't he take you for medical care at that time?
