[QUOTE="Sawds, post: 1597335, member: 437905"] Wow, both those comments are really helpful and very thorough! I’m on gliclazide and so I’m told this can contribute to hypos more so than metformin and so I guess that doesn’t help. A cool down period certainly might be an idea rather than getting straight in the car to sit down at home, guess it depends on how quickly I want to get away from the pitch afterwards!! The hypos don’t actually bother me too much as I know they’re going to happen and had experience of them for a couple of years before I was diagnosed. I tried drinking lucozade sport during and after games and this seemed to cure the hypos (as I know them now to be) back then and maybe that might help now. I used to drink two bottles of the lemon and lime flavour and so perhaps I need to work out whether that was too many and one now might be sufficient. The one benefit of the prediagnosis hypos is that I know what to expect in everyday life and I am aware of early symptoms and don’t therefore allow them to progress. Thanks so much for your comments, have only played 3 matches since diagnosis so I guess like everything I need to get a balance but I’m certainly going to find that rather than giving up on something that I have enjoyed doing for about 25 years or so.
