[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1647520, member: 372717"] Hypos are horrible. Dizziness and troubles with concentration are symptoms of a hypo, and if your blood sugar was 3.6 then that confirms it. Luckily once your blood sugar goes back to normal you should feel better, but it's very common for blood sugar to go too high after a hypo and so you feel bad again. I assume your clinic has talked to you about hypos, but honestly you need to actually experience one in order to understand the process. Unfortunately hypos are something that all the Type 1s I've ever met have had to learn to deal with, but if you treat them before they get too bad then you should feel fine once they're over. Always always always keep glucose tablets (or equivalent) where you can reach them easily. Good luck. Once your diabetes has stabilised (honeymoon period, etc, etc?) you should end up on a regime where they are only very occasional annoyances and you won't need to be sent home from one. [/QUOTE]
