hypo

hello, I've been a type 1 diabetic for about 6 years now and through out those years i have come across certain situations that i found to be a bit annoying that you wouldn't have thought would be a problem when you became diagnosed such as thinking about different types of jobs that would...

The other day I went out for dinner and decided that I would try a cocktail. I have had them before but not while I've been experiencing symptoms of possible diabetes or something else. I got a Pina Colada since why I like them and I regretted it. For about an hour or so I felt my heart was...

Hello I am still learning about this T2 and how it effects me so l have a question for you all and maybe someone has the answers lm looking for ... I've been unwell for the last week bloods etc have been ok,however yesterday whist out l felt faint shaky etc lucky l had my testing things on me...

Hi, I'm diabetic for more then 6 months. For the last 2-3 weeks it seemed that i am coming out of diabetes honeymoon, as i started to need more and more insulin. Yesterday evening I took my usual Lantus amout and after one hour or so i started to see that my sugar level is going down more...

I think I've had a hypo. Although the NHS diabetes Nurse recons Type 2's cannot get hypos. I say think, as I had a bit of an episode this afternoon when I came over all funny, felt as if I'd hadn't eaten for several days, really light headed, legs went all jelly. Grabbed the finger prick...

hi, I use dextro energy to balance lows or give me energy for activity but I'm never sure how many I need. The packet doesn't state what 1 tablet does to your blood sugar and I couldn't find the answer in dr bernsteins book, does anyone know? I'm aware that it can differ from day to day with...

Hi all I try to stay positive with my diabetes but lately it's been really getting to me. I'm training to be a teacher and this is easily the most stressful year of my life with work and my health. I went and saw my DSN on Tuesday and I was there for three hours - not in the waiting room -...

2 simple questions. 1) Is every insulin dependent type 2 at risk of having a hypo at some point? 2) Should they carry something with them in case this happens? Thanks.

I was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 12, and I am now 20. I am in my final year at university, which is 2 hours away from home. I have my boyfriend of 2 and a half years here with me to help me, but I have absolutely no confidence with my diabetes control at all. It may sound silly, but...

Hello I've just had a hypo and it was different to others I've experienced. Type 1 for 5 years on apidra and lantus and hypoaware for background. I was sleeping when I woke up, didn't check bloods just knew I needed to get something down me which I'm regretting since it would have been nice...

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, I'm newly diagnosed as type 2 diabetic on 29th Dec last year. Been dieting and lost a little weight (2st 3lb) since Sept last year, and there's a LOT I don't understand. Like, what's a hypo? Why can some people test their blood sugar and some don't even get any information about it...

Hey guys. Hope everyone is well. Not new diabetic but I have just been moved from tablets to insulin. Absolutely terrified of having a hypo as my sugars have always been high. I have never had one before. This is the lowest I have ever been ( 5.4 mmol). Worried that I won't realise if I do go...

Hi - I've not had a debilitating hypo for some time now and my control is getting much better with the Expert meter. However I do occasionally go below 4mmol especially after unexpected exercise such as chasing sheep that have escaped etc. I sometimes think that my consultant expects zero hypos...

Hi, Im in my final year at university and going a project surrounding diabetic glucometers. Could you please fill in their anonymous survey? https://www.esurveycreator.com/s/sugarstrap1 Many Thanks
