[QUOTE="ert, post: 2176516, member: 504712"] Welcome. Do you have a diabetes nurse who you can phone urgently? I'd treat all hypos below 3.5 mmol/l with 15 to 20 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates equivalent to 100-120 ml Lucozade, 150-200ml cola or fruit juice, 5 glucose tablets. Retest after 10-15 minutes. Repeat the treatment if your blood sugars haven't normalised. Try reducing your basal insulin by 10-20%. When recently travelling to a very hot climate, I cut back my basal insulin by 20% every day until I stopped hypoing. I ended up on 20% of my normal dose for the duration of my trip until returning home. It took a month to return to my usual amount. [/QUOTE]
