[QUOTE="Lady J, post: 2734, member: 1725"] Apols if I have made a mistake there. It was incorrect of me to suggest the hypoglycaemia is restricted to diabetics only. However, I do think this only happens in rare instances (such as prolonged and unusal exercise) where the blood glucose levels drop too low, too fast. Warnings relating to the need to watch out for low blood glucose/hypos are usually only restricted to those on BG lowering meds or insulin. However, the origingal poster's assertion that the fact that she had never had a hypo meant that she wasn't diabetic still didn't follow. I simply didn't want them to make a self-diagnosis on incorrect facts. The vast majority of hypos are caused by the meds etc, not anything else. Therefore, the fact of never having had one should not be 'proof' of not having diabetes! I hope I've been clear, but again, apols for the inaccurate or 'broad terms' nature of my first post!
