[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2651154, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=581683]@kades[/USER] and welcome to the forums. Before sensors, T1s relied on hypo symptoms to tell us when we have gone low, and to wake us at night if we went low then. Most people have clear warning symptoms, and getting into the habit of always being near a hypo treatment means that you can avoid anything more than a mild hypo. (Believe me, from personal experience, going hypo in a shopping centre without glucose is a minefield because it can be difficult to work out how to buy sugar when you are running low and feeling slightly confused.). And no T1 should [I]ever [/I]think about driving without being sure there is glucose (or equivalent) with them in the car. My past problems with hypos have occurred (pre sensor) when I ran my levels too low and had far too many hypos, which impaired my hypo awareness. I suspect you will feel much less anxious once you have had your first real hypo and can recognise the symptoms. [/QUOTE]
