hypo

Usual mixed insulin (16 units) at 7 PM. Meal after insulin and snack at 10 PM. Went to bed with 5.1. Woke up at 3 AM with 2.9 I was told not to cut insulin to 14 (2 units less) if my morning BG is over 7. It`s always over 6 first thing in the morning and I`m simply afraid to decrease the dose...

I've always been told that NovoRapid takes aroung 15 minutes to get going and lasts for 4 hours. I bought a Libre sensor at the weeking (amasing) and have been using it since Sunday lunchtime. On Sunday night my BG was about 6 when I ate at 10pm (60g carbs patsa) I took my normal doe of novo...

Hiya, Suzan here, I have been a type 1 diabetic for about 8 years and havent always had the best track record with my blood sugars, but lately my body has been going completely nuts and I have no idea what to do about it! When I first became diabetic I gained 30 kilos in a year and was unable to...

I have noticed the symptoms get when having a hypo have changed. I used to get shakey and my tongue would go numb. I don't seem to get these symptoms anymore. Now I tend to notice a hypo when I can't concentrate and struggle to focus my sight on something. When I get these symptoms I'll do a BG...

I've had type 1 diabetes since the age of 11 so I know abit about Diabetes, but my understanding of type 2 is very limited. A friend of mine recently had a couple of episodes where he passed out unexpectedly. His doctor eventually diagnosed him as type 2 diabetic and said that the passing out...

Hi, I was diagnosed with type one a couple of weeks ago. I ate about an hour and a half ago and took 6 units of novorapid I tested my finger before dinner and was about a 7mmol/l. About 15 minutes ago I had symptoms of a hypo when I tested my finger I was 15.1mmol/l however my freestyle libre...

Lucozade original used to be my go-to hypo treatment for many years. After they halved the sugar content and added sweeteners it's no good (what were they thinking? Surely nobody was drinking it for the taste, but it used to do the job, and you didn't need too much of it). I find liquid better...

Hey guys, I'm stumped. Maybe you know what's going on with me. Today was another weird one. I could accept that the heat from a couple of weeks ago caused a hypo, as circumstances were extreme, but today.... The weather was normal to cool. And I think my sugar should've been relatively high. So...

Okay, so I've jumped on my husband's account to ask this, looks like I'm making his first post :angelic: My husband Andy is a type 3c diabetic, he was diagnosed a few months ago. Recently, his BG has been at a more manageable level between 7 and 10, but he's started having more hypos, mostly...

(EDIT: If you are going on a plane start by reading this article it opened my eyes: https://asweetlife.org/what-you-should-know-about-flying-with-an-insulin-pump/) Hi, I am sure I have read somewhere before that if you don't put your pump into aeroplane mode when flying then it can suddenly...

With lucozade reducing its carb sugar ratio, is Coke better for treating Hypos? Coke has 10.4g of sugar for 10.4g of carb!

Hi everyone, Can anyone please help? I had a Whipple procedure 8 years ago, following pancreatic cancer at the age of 68. I've been on Creon capsules and a basal/bolus insulin routine ever since. I learnt to count carbs, read Dr Bernstein and lived a fairly normal life since then, with HbA1c's...

This is an awesome forum I have been following awhile- its 50 years ahead of diabetes education in Australia! I'm 'diet controlled type 2', in fact my numbers often show I'm 'not diabetic' but the symptoms are still there, I have hypos (two nearly killed me as they are not widely recognised in...

Hi all. Before I go into any details has anyone suffered from extremely long hypos? My reason for asking: Yesterday I first felt symptoms of a hypo coming on at approx. 10:45am. Here's a rundown of events: 10:45am: Bloods reading 3.6. Jelly babies to the rescue. 2:15pm: About 20 Jelly babies...

Is it safe for T2 to drink Lucozade when feeling weak or hungry? I know it’s OK for T1s, but how about T2s? I’m still learning, please advice!

Hello fellow type 1s. I have recently started Tresiba insulin on 4 units once a day which seems to be working well. I'm a slow diabetic was diagnosed August 2016, so still have my own insulin. Overnight my levels regularly drop in the 4s once I had a 3.7. I'm always worried if it goes into 4s I...
