[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1696588"] Sorry to read about your hypo, [USER=188099]@Michelle6557[/USER] - they are rubbish, aren't they? I hope the worst is over now but remember that after one hypo your hypo-awareness may be a little reduced for a day so make sure you do more checks than usual. Coke and jelly babies are fine to take to treat hypos. Do you always carry them around with you? Hypos can happen anywhere at any time and they seem to crop up at the most inopportune moment. It's bad enough being alone in a hotel room but next time you may not have a helpful receptionist on hand. So, please make sure you always have hypo treatments with you. A bit late for you now but when I was first diagnosed, a friend with diabetes suggested I "forced" my first hypo (by taking slightly too much insulin) when there was someone around. I am sure there are people around who disagree with this approach but I found it helpful to have experienced a hypo in a controlled environment: it gave me confidence I knew what to do when it happened "for real".
