[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 1028247, member: 53168"] The actual definition of a hyo is below 2.5 between this and 4 is a low blood sugar not a hypo. they used to say make 4 the floor but because of the speed some people can drop these days recommend 5. it must be above 5 to drive. The lowest I have been was 0.8 and still telling the ambulance crew what was wrong with me for when I arrived at hospital- I don't remember much after this. I was il though. Usually I know anywhere between 4.2 and 3.8. You are lucky if you have symptoms higher although for some people this is a sign that their sugars are running too high- so as a result they feel low at a higher level. Some people tend to feel the drop - I went swimming today and was 6.4 when I got out but I knew I was dropping fast- by the time I was dressed I was 4.6 so just had Lucozade and didn't wait to get lower. You will learn but unfortunately it wi take a few ow sugars to recognise the full symptoms. it used to be common practise when diagnosed to encourage a hypo in a safe environment so that people knew what to expect and were protected in the process. I don't know if they still do that. [/QUOTE]
