[QUOTE="KarenAdamson, post: 1028487, member: 196746"] Been Type 1 for over 40 years so suffer from Hypos without symptoms although occasionally I get a symptom. The other night I was 1.6 but was able to walk and treat myself. Years before that I had such a bad hypo I woke up after collapsing at home after lying on a cold tile floor for a couple of hours. On another occasion I got up in the morning and my legs just gave out and I broke my wrist when I fell. Still capable of phoning my husband who came home to rescue me. Officially a hypo is anything at a blood glucose of 4 or under. Because you are fairly recently diagnosed your body senses your low Blood sugars early but over the years your body will adapt so that your blood glucose will get lower before you feel symptoms. Please take care as once you have had one hypo in a day you are more likely to have more that day. Keep a close eye on your blood sugars today. Please make sure you have a small snack before you go to bed tonight. If by chance your blood sugar is high in the morning it could be that you've had a night time hypo and your body has released glucogen so do not panic. [/QUOTE]
