In the early days of experiencing hypos I would have a visual disturbance like a blue light in the middle of my vision. I sometimes experience horizontal double vision when my blood sugar leves are rising.

I get visual disturbance hen hypo. I see a sort of black pattern in front of my eyes, especially if I am hypo on waking.

Funny eyes or blurry vision is one of many symptoms that people can experience during a hypo, it doesn't matter what symptoms you have as long as you recognise them and act on them, I always needto go for a pee when my bg is low which seems unusual, but my main symptom is a hunger feeling.

When my sugars are very low, say below 2, I've had that it's like a blind spot flashing. It's scary and I never test just EAT!

Hello All,
I have been a type 1 for over 50 years, and have found that different types of insulin, have given me different types of reactions when entering a hypo. Many years ago when i was on animal insulin you would get tingling of the skin around your mouth and tongue, when i went to the first lot of synthetic it was very different, blurred vision was one of the early signs and my wife could see that i was go into hypo,she said that my eyes would get a glassy look to them, if the hypo was a bad one i would start to get the shakes, and skin color would go white, and eventually start slurring my words. In 2010 they put me onto 2 new insulin's and for 4 weeks i could not feel hypos coming on, even in hospital i was 1 on three occasions and knew nothing about , after 4 weeks later they told me to back onto my old insulin, which i did, Recently they have changed my insulin again and i now have a whole new set of sensations to learn, i now sweat profusely, and the bit i do not like is i have developed palpitations and chest pains when entering a hypo state. There are many little signs that we all learn to recognize, and these are very important, the main issue i have found with the newer insulin's is that you do not have the same flexibility with the time as i use to have with the older animal insulin's. I hope you may find my experience helpful in some way.
Best Regards
and Good Health to All
Toby.

The centre of my vision sometimes blurs. It's very similar to one of my migraine symptoms which is a bit confusing.

About 10 years ago I used to get a lot of migraines. The first thing to go during a migraine would be my eyesight. I would think 'I'm either having a migraine or a hypo.' I could never tell the difference until I tested my blood sugars, so fear not, this is a normal hypo symptom.
