This summer with the hot weather has definitely increased the number of ‘severe’ hypos even with a near 40% reduction in insulin. I’m finding that the after effects of hypos are leaving me emotionally drained to the point of tears, very unlike me. Does this happen to anyone else? A bit of...

Me too. Every summer causes me a problem with hypos and this year some severe ones especially overnight. I have been using a Medtronic pump and freestyle sensor and have been Type 1 for 38 years, I’m now 63. I reduce my basal line by nearly 40% (.25u per hour overnight) and I’m still having at...
