[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 2098802, member: 301751"] Well, we are all different, so won’t say it is safe for everyone to just ignore it. Some people have good hypo awareness, and therefor most of the times can tell a real hypo from a fake one. These people should always treat them, and don’t ignore it. But well, not everyone has that ability, me included. I’m kind of hypo-unaware, so I usually never recognize the hypo before it gets real bad. So in my case I have to always check if I feel hypo, because I am not able to recognize a hypo unless it gets very bad, 2 mmol or lower. So I just shared what helped in my case, but we are all different. But bottom note are: If you’re conscious, and unsure, but have time to check, always check blood sugar before you do something :) Edit: I see know that you are type 2. I am not type 2, so not sure, but I think hypos are unlikely with just oral medication. But if unsure it is better to ask your GP or health care team :) [/QUOTE]
