[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2518718, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=45091]@DannyH[/USER] As ert said above using lucozade is fine if you're going hypo but when levels hit 3.9mmol/l - however in your case as you're accustomed to running your levels higher, then in your shoes I would treat if going below 5 mmol/l - I can imagine you were feeling panicky and anxious at 9 because your not used to running in single figures, but this is where you need to start taking more control. So control over how you treat a hypo, control in managing your insulin doses and corrections. Taking glucose at 9 will send you sky rocket, so you need to trust yourself more that you can bring your levels down and run in single figures. I know you think a pump is a magic wand but unless you can start getting to grips with managing your insulin/carb intake then it may not ever happen, the NHS can be very firm about this, so it is even more incentive to really start to grasp your doses/carb intake to show them the effort you are putting in that would warrant their support with funding for a pump.
