You probably don't remember, but were you feeling confused/tired/lethargic or having any really bizzare thoughts right before this happened? That's my big tip off, I usually just sort of start having these incredibly irrational thoughts, start to have a cold sweat, heart will thump, and then it's lights out. Not fun.

I'd definitely put a call into your GP, he'll probably want to draw blood and do a fasting test of some sort.

Hope you figure it out.
I am also a diabetic and I concur. Your symptoms sounds like you were having a low blood sugar.

It would really be in your best interest to see a doctor, because while it does sound like hypoglycemia, something easily treated, it could be something else and the best way to find out is to see a doctor.
