hypo

Hello All, I've had a look around the forum but can't find anything specifically about what I am after. My son was diagnosed with T1D about 18 months ago, he is in his late teens. He manages his diabetes very, very well and I take my hat off to him (in range >95%) but one issue he does have is...

Hi all, I was diagnosed in September 2021, taking Tresiba (basal) and humalog (bolus) My basal was just reduced from 6 down to 4 units every night, because of frequent hypos However my alarm is still going off every second night. I can quickly eat something - I've found one or two jelly...

My 21 yr old son had a sudden seizure in the middle of Sainsbury's today. It was all a bit scary. He usually has good hypo awareness and did realise he needed to have a sugary drink but didn't think it was urgent. We were at the checkout and paid for the sandwich and drink and he was just...

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...

Hi all :) I have only been injecting for around a month but I am really struggling with any form of excersise. I am a very active person, always running around the house finding something to do, I take both of my dogs out separately every day and sometimes I like to just go for a walk by...

Do the symptoms of a hypo for anyone change over time? I’m used to having the same set but every once in a while they change. I recently started getting blurred vision - something I’ve never had before. I sometimes even get a flashing light in one eye that stays for the hypo duration then...

I was diagnosed type 1 in June and started on 12U in the morning and 12U at night, with 6U of novorapid with each meal. This has gradually decreased. I’ve been low carb eating now for 11 days (against the advice of my DN) I haven’t taken any rapid insulin with food in 10 days and use 3U morning...

Hey! I injected one unit for my dinner - teriyaki noodles with chicken (50g carbs). 45 minutes after my dinner I started to feel like I was having hypoglycaemic attack.. I checked my sugars and indeed I was. My blood sugar had dropped from 10mmol before dinner to 3.6mmol and that was after a...

Last night I had a bad hypo, my body wasn’t responding to the sweets and went so low to the point that the machine said “LO”. We had to call an ambulance as I kept trying to go to sleep instead of treating it. I was panicked as I thought I was going to die. This morning my body aches, I had...

Hi! I have been living with reactive hypoglycemia for two years although I do not have diabetes which I know is quite rare. Anyway I just wanted to share that for the last six months and after a lot of hard work I have been symptom free. I wanted to share the blog site I put together documenting...

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...

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping well. I keep having hypos, like ALL THE TIME. They started as night time hypos so I've been reducing my basal as this is something I was taught on DAFNE (I know some don't agree with this method but this is all I know). I have had little success with this and...

Hi all Long time type 1, Night tine can still be a mystery even after all these years Generally higher than ideal at bedtime (fear of hypo) Higher in morning, not always aware of hypos at night but in recent years understand bit more about liver function Libre is allowing me to see more about...

Hi everyone, I'm new to using the Freestyle Libre - and was diagnosed with T1DM in February. I've been finding that the libre has been really off in comparison to my finger prick readings - especially at night time before bed. For example tonight my Libre is reading 3.8, but I do not feel as...

So today I arrived at work a little later than normal due to an awful night with hypos. Usually I am there in plenty of time to enable me to have breakfast should I need to be out early but didn't manage it today and it was one of the rare days I have to be out early. I work in a care home and I...

Hi everyone, Is there something like a hypo hangover ? I'm newly on insulin, type 1/1.5 Yesterday I didn't notice but when I checked before leaving the house I had fallen to 3.7. I ate some food amd had some fruit juice but overdid it as I bounced to 9.8 before leveling to 8.1 about 1.5h later...

So last night I was tossing and turning for much of the night and was absolutely exhausted when I woke for work, checked my bg using my libre and it turns out I'd been hypo much of the night. With DAFNE principles I'll be reducing my basal by 10%-20% However I currently have 34 units of Tresiba...

Hi, I was diagnosed with diabetes at 12 weeks of pregnancy, my blood sugar at diagnoses was 19.1 after high sugar drink and high carb meal. My hba1c is around 40-41. Endocrinologist put me on 2 units rapid action before meals and 3 units basal before bed. I’ve tested positive for some type 1...

In the past few weeks since I've had libre, my dsn and consultant have been lowering my overnight degludec due to learning I've been having long hypos in the night. In the past week however I've had 3 bad night time hypos. I've been waking up shaking, feeling drunk etc and been around 2.3. I am...
