So if I’m at home, cycling or at work or always recognise a hypo however when I’m volunteering at my local animal park. I always seem to get hypos just before lunch however have just mistook them for being. Tired and sometimes cold
If i didn’t have lunch I probably wouldn’t recognises it.
I do find this odd. Anyone else have similar experience and how to improve it
 
Too much coffee can make me feel like I'm having a hypo
 
Yes me too, especially being tired. Also being inexplicably fed up is another. I’ve been known to pick a fight with my lovely husband, then do a test and realise it’s me not him.... ( for once ) and all harmony is restored once I’ve eaten. I think closing down everything is your body’s way of conserving energy.
 
Stress is another one, always has me reaching for my meter.
 
Yes, I can feel cold during a hypo. I used to get social anxiety also.
 
Thanks guys

However, if you are "detecting" a hypo from a Libre or CGM, bear in mind they are not 100% accurate and should be checked with finger pricks.

I don’t use a libre or Cgm
