    MissyLA33 Well they're certainly symptomatic of a hypo - I'm type 1 and have had enough of them to be able to say that. For me, initially I would start to 'rattle' just under 6, but that's eased a bit now and I'm usually not so bad down to 5.2 but that's still high. That said, I'm not always...
