[QUOTE="IZ THE LEG END, post: 1058480, member: 195751"] Although I have never had a Hypo that's required intervention, I have on numerous occasions I have had sugars as low as 2.3 to which as [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] pointed out previously addressed myself immediately. However over the last 4 weeks I have extensively increased my training program with some very big runs all whilst starting insulin therapy (Basal Only, Bolus from tomorrow fingers crossed), so I have been monitoring my BG levels extensively over the last 4 weeks watching how my body is reacting so have been able to make small adjustments in an attempt to normalise my BG levels. Before exercise I now raise my BG on purpose to between 7-9mmol in anticipation that my BG is going to drop during exercise, And monitoring closely during exercise and again making small adjustments whilst carrying this out... I had a few hypos (<3.9mmol) the first week but I have a handle on this now and a good understanding of how my body is reacting under different circumstances, conditions and intensities. I tried this method in my every day life too and over the last 2 weeks I've had no instances where I have needed to stop and assist myself or the need for anyone else to do so either. I don't think you can eliminate hypos completely because your always going to be susceptible to them but I believe you can definitely reduce them albeit a little arduous to start with... [/QUOTE]
