i have got type 2 diabetes, and i have been diagonised since 2003. For a long time now my numbers have been quite high (lowest was 13), but mainly because of my complacency.
3 weeks ago i started behaving myself, hit the gym, cut out the cakes and biscuits, and my numbers have now come down to the point where my 7 day average was 7.2 this morning.
However I am also hitting quite low hypos in the nights, and although I can deal with these quickly, and my numbers pick up, i seem to take the whole part of the morning trying to recover from the hypo. i had a 3.2 at 2.30am this morning, bit at a chocolate, and got back to 8.3 at 7.00am. It is now 9.43 and I feeling the shivers, and I am generally weak. I have noticed that this is the same feeling i had about 3 nights back when i hit 3.3 at 3.00 am.
I have also noticed that i start to feel the shiver when i get around 5.0, is that normal
What i am doing wrong, and what is the best way of recovering from a hypo
