Ok I got scared today [View all]

My adhd got me stuck in hyperfocus again.
In hyperfocus everything disappears as you intensely focus on that you are doing.

Well I started to feel woozy,shaky my vision got messed up which forced me to stop. It made me able to break the focus my inhibiting my ability to keep doing what I was doing the body forced me to pay attention. When I became aware of my body I felt so messed up. I figured I'd take my blood sugar first. It was 34.
I got sugar into my body quick. But what if hyper focus got to the point of passing out and I could not feel my body again?
I could die.

Having diabeties and adhd is a dangerous combination to have. Especially when living alone.I hope I never get that hyper focussed again.

But I have no guarantees it won't happen again. That is what scares me.

Is there more information about adhd and diabeties out there?
