hypo anxiety

I am a newbie, so go easy on me please :) I have had my first few Night Hypos which I found to be terrifying. I do not monitor my blood but recognised the symptoms ( high HR, Numb lips etc) so quickly ate some sweets and plums and banana and calmed myself down within 10 minutes but really...

So in May i was put on levemir and novorapid. My problem is with Levemir. I was on a single dose of 16 units at night but it only lasted me 16 hours so i got tired and went off the insulin altogether and switched to a premixed insulin (Humalog mix 50). My control with premixed insulin has been...

(I will not be taking anything as a medical advice, i just need some help! So dont worry) Hello! So im typing this in a panic. I was on one single nightly dose of levemir at 16 units but it dropped me greatly at night and didnt last me a whole 24 hours so after so much contemplation i decided...

I’m 12 weeks PP after having GD and I had a glucose tolerance test last Monday which came back clear. On Friday of the same week I was rushed to A&E with severe vomiting, confusion , blurred vision and personality changes where I have no memory of anything that happened that evening in hospital...

Over the past few weeks I have been having late morning/midday panics where I am convinced that my BG is low - the majority of the time, it isn't. I think because it happened once and really scared me, I now keep being convinced that something is happening and then I panic. Has anyone else ever...

Hi everyone! Just to briefly introduce myself.. I'm 27 and was diagnosed with MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) when I was 18.. that's a story for another time! My mum also has MODY and my brother carries the gene (specifically HNF4A for us). At diagnosis, I was told I was type 1 and...

Hello , so I was wondering if anyone could guide me on what I need too do as something very much scared me last night. I took my semglee 24 hour insulin as I do every night at 10pm, I’ve reduced by 4 units due too my sugars dropping lower than I wanted before meals. This rectified the problem...

Recently diagnosed, honeymooning like crazy, gave birth 2 months ago and I’m slowly starting to get back out into the world. I’ve started to take up invites for meals and drinks in bars.. but I’m absolutely stumped! This is something I’ve never really thought of! Before falling pregnant I...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with Hypo alert dogs, specifically in the UK. I'm Type 1 since 2005, and my sugar is fairly well controlled but i have developed severe anxiety regarding low/high readings, to the point that I will have panic attacks if my blood seems to be...

Hi everyone, so a bit of a back story, Switched from lantus to tresiba a few months ago (6 units every morning) and love it along with a a lowish carb diet i dont take much fast acting at all and have smooth readings usually. Havnt had a low in months This morning i went to take my Tresiba at...

Hi all, I’ve started a low carb diet to lose a bit of weight and maintain a healthier lifestyle however I seem to be having more hypos (had 4 in one day yesterday which was crazy bad! Not only is it bad but also counterproductive to my goal) I normally take novorapid and levermir and haven’t...

Hello everyone! I'm really sorry if this is too long but I'm really desperate and need some opinions. I'm 23, I was diagnosed with T1 12 years ago and at first I was handling it very well, I would sometimes get really bad hypos but I never lost consciousness or panicked. I had bad days and good...

So, tonight I had probably the most intense panic attack I've ever had. I had a hypo (Libre had a 4.6 with a vertical down arrow) so I treat it and carry on, next thing I know I'm completely out of my mind hyperventilating, sweating hot and cold, heart pounding like its going to bust out my...

What sort of levels is it normal to start feeling Hypo symptoms? I'm 22 and was diagnosed a type 1 in mid-February (about a month and a half ago). Initially I found I would have to go down to the low 3's to feel any of the symptoms, but I just randomly tested and it was 2.7 and I didn't feel...

i am non diabetic, and I keep getting these type of numbers but when I check a few minutes later there back to normal numbers? I’m really worried there’s something wrong with me as lowest I’ve dropped is to 3.5 :( 8:52pm tonight I was 3.8 Checked again at 8.58 and it was 4.3

Hi All, I'm new to the forum part of the website so excuse me if my question lie's in a thread somewhere else. In the couple of days i've been posting in the 'morning blood sugar readings' forum i've come to notice a few people posting morning readings that are quite low but no mention of...

My daughter, now 5, was diagnosed 7 months ago as T1. We are using Apidra before meals and Lantus before bedtime. Her weight is around 19kg and her daily dosage is totally around 3-4 units: 1 Lantus daily and Apidra 1/0.5/1 (breakfast/lunch/dinner). Using Freestyle Libre we've managed to control...

I don’t even know if I’m really asking a question here... Since the weather has become more mild and breezey I’ve been having a lot of difficulty keeping my daytime blood sugars within range (they’re often between 11-15 no matter how much insulin I take and begin to rise as soon as I hit the 5...

Hi, I'm a 22 year old type 1 diabetic diagnosed at 12 years old. For around 8 years now I've - in principle - had a relatively good control of my blood sugars for a long time - never anything over 8.6 and conventionally ranging between 5s and 7s. Unfortunately, however, I feel like this...
