[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 626013, member: 84857"] Have just had a conversation with my partner and he tells me that he felt dizzy / wobbly on his feet when he got up this morning......I had gone out to work so wasn't here ..... Was wondering if this is starting to indicate that his blood sugar levels are coming down to a level where he may suffer from a hypo...I asked if he had tested and he said no.....just suggested that he test it now but he refused. Am not sure what, if anything, he did to deal with the symptoms but assumed that he just took his morning medication and then went out as per normal (skipping breakfast) to have his lunch (evidently he had eggs on toast) and to get the newspapers and some shopping...... Which leads me to the fact that he did not test before driving........so now I will need to start worrying about that again.......I know this was a previous concern but based on the fact his levels were in the high teens I had concluded this was not the most important issue I was having to deal with at the time..... If now his levels are falling .....last reading was 9.9 in the morning about a week or so ago....perhaps the potential for hypos is now more relevant. It could of course be that I am reading something into this that is not there ...............but who knows..... [/QUOTE]
