hypo

Hi I have been diagnosed with diabetes for the last 18 months. They are not sure what type I am as my symptoms were Type 1 when I was first diagnosed but am now managing it as though it was type 2. I was on max dosage Gliclazide for 2 months. With a low carb diet and exercise I came off the...

feeling awful this morning! I woke up with a vague recollection that I had a hypo last night (cold sweats are usually pretty reliable indicator) so tested my bg and scanned my libre. My bg was 3 and my libre showed I had been hypo basically all the hours I had been asleep apart from one uptick...

I,ve been type one Diabetic for 15 years (now 19) and I've recently been having an issue when exercising. Particularly when in the gym my muscles shake after any exercise. This feels very similar to taking a hypo but my blood sugar levels are normal. It has really put me off exercising as it's...

Hi guys I carry a pack of dextro energy tabs with me either as part of hypo treatment or just fo a quick boost if running a little too low. Problem is that they come in a paper packet and am looking for a suitable box or container to keep them in as once open the remaining tabs at times fall out...

Though i'd just write a quick post as am a little confused. Blood sugars have been great over the last couple of weeks and have been 'controlling' the Dawn Effect by basically injecting insulin just before breakfast at 05:15 am with giving an additional unit of Novorapid to cover the 4-5 mmol...

Not sure if this is the right place, I'm more seeking advice and reassurance than anything else. I'm new to the forums, but here goes. I'm recently diagnosed with Type 1 since the 3rd of November, and lately my blood sugar readings have been dropping lower and lower, with sometimes erratic...

Thought i would mention a weird experience i had this morning - been having a few issues with the DP for a while and fairly high readings 2 hours post meal (especially after lunch) for a while - but readings about 4-5 hours after luch do come down to within exeptable levels - any later they...

Hi guys - as you probably are aware (if you have read previous threads) that I have been having a lot of issues running high especially 2 hours post meal. Thought I would dramatically reduce my carbs for my tea to see how it goes. A bit of info.. My insulin carb ratio at tea is approx. 1:9 and...

Hi seeking some advice if I may..? How is it possible that my blood sugar level can go from 2.2 up to 21.8 in the space of 2 hours?? Only food I had in that time was a small glass of orange juice and two bits of toast?!? I am still on novomix 30 and take 2 injections a day. The hospital records...

Hi friends, I'm pretty new to diabetes; I was discussing bg readings on another thread, and someone mentioned that my bg levels might be a bit of a cause for concern- RE hypos. I'd appreciate any advice on this. My readings seem to run a bit low in general, and I don't vary much: I'm 3.5 or...

Hi all, This is my very first post here. I need some help please! I am T1 and I am struggling with hypos. Very minor exercising, like riding my bicycle to work etc, would rapidly give me a hypo both at that time and also half way through the night while I am a sleep! I also inject myself at...

Ok, so I have been on Lantus and Humalog for some time now, possibly coming up to 5 years. Even though it was much better than my previous insulin regime (mixtard or whatever it is called now), I was having constant lows and highs at specific times of the day despite sussing out my carb counting...

Hi im 19 and recently been told I have type one then two weeks later told I have type 2. I'm am talking insulin four times a day and metaformin twice a day. My work colleges understand what's has happened to me and a doctor signed a for note to say I needed to go for break so when I need food...

Hi there, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have continued to follow a low carb diet as i seem to hypo's a lot when i bolus for meals and i don't enjoy injecting if i'm honest. I have a small toddler to run around after and the risk of hypo'ing gets me quite frustrated and depleted so i just don't eat...

Hey everyone. I hope y'all doing good today. :) I'm interested to know what are the best and quickest things to treat a hypo are, and what are your favorites? I'd be grateful for your input. Thanks in advance. :)

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, and pretty much to everything blood sugar measuring related. Tonight at home we're in front with a very rare case and I would really appreciate your insight. My girlfriend is 34, she was just diagnosed with dysautonomia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia 8...

What shape was the dip? A relatively sharp one or a smooth drop and recover? If it was the former, it's possible you lay on the sensor.

Hi I have had Type 1 for 29 years and have had hypos. But I have never gone unconscious. This is a huge fear for me and I run my levels too high to avoid going too low just in case. I am currently having therapy for my fear and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is like to go so...

Hi I see a lot of people posting about lack of knowledge and ignorance on this forum and I have always laughed it off and thought some people are so stupid, that is until recently... I have only been Type 1 since January this year and recently several of my friends have asked if they just need...

Further to the discussions that have occurred on the forum regarding somogyi effect (rebounds to hypos), I was at a pump meet up this week where the DSN was discussing overnight hypers and hypos. She said that whilst they do not know the cause, it is being noticed that the rebound effect from...
