[QUOTE="ciaramoh, post: 450745, member: 89954"] Best thing to do is to ask your team if you can have a sensor. I am 18 and have lost my hypo awareness I can go to below 1 and that's only when I feel it and as a result I get up at 1 am and 3 am to check because I've had fits through the night because I've gone so low and it's only that my mums found me. The sensor tests you every 5 minutes and can show you when your blood is going high or low and what time it is. That way you can see where you need to adjust your insulin. Also and I know it's difficult but chocolate shouldn't be given with a hypo from what I've heard because it is fatty and slows down the fast acting sugar. The best thing I have found for hypo treatment is Gluco Juice. Although they are more expensive than other hypo treatment options they are good when it's a serious hypo. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
