hypo unawareness

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...

Hi all, My wife has Type 1 diabetes (disgnosed 2.5 years ago in her 30s) and when she has a hypo her pupils are different sizes. She also has hypo unawareness so relies on me to tell her when she needs to eat/take action. Yesterday she very obviously had the issue with her pupils being...

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...

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...

So I recently had a blood test done at the doctors as I have been feeling really tired, nauseous dizzy and shakey for quite some time, this was a random blood test but the doc told me that my hba1c is way lower than it should be and sits at around 2.2 mmol and this is causing the problem but...

Thanks to my little bichon frise i'm still here and can write this post! Normally when going to bed I have a small snack of a Jacobs cracker with peanut butter as my BS is usually around 6-7 mmols and tend to drop in the night before the DP hits around 4am - I usually correct this when I wake at...

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in early August. Successfully brought numbers back down and was waking up most mornings with 3.9-4.0. The problem is I was getting too many hypos, mainly because I was overestimating how much NovoRapid I needed with meals. It led to hypo...

Hey there ! This is a pretty embarassing topic for me to discuss with my doctor and feel that type 1s can relate better. I have been recently diagnosed and I am afraid to have any sexual contact with my boyfriend because of hypos. How to you usually handle the situation? How much and what food...

Watching Louis Theroux's BBC documentary "a different brain" (aired on Sunday.) Mostly head injury patients affected by car accidents & a fall from a horse causing changes in personality as a result.. One woman in "care" for the last 15 years (she claimed it was a fall.) turned out talking to...

My doc have told me that she wants to reduce my lows to none. Of course I want that also but doing so would force me to increase my blood sugar to a level that I don't want to, she does not answer my question on how often the normal amount of lows are. So I decide to check with you guys, to see...

hi everyone, it's been about one month since i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and so far I think I've had a hypo at least once a day. Im guessing this is the honeymoon period and my doses have been lowered and I test a lot to keep on top of it all. However in the last few days Ive decided to...

Hi folks, I'm looking for people who've had similar experiences. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and the adult child of a Type 1 diabetic who has been hypo unaware all of my life. Her frequent hypos loom large in my memory and it used to be quite frightening from a child's perspective. I have a tendency...
