[QUOTE="ahills, post: 73125, member: 18846"] I always find that if i've taken insulin within the hour and have a ypo i very rarely get the usual symtoms until they are really low. As for hot baths i love them but man they can be scary with the BS drop, i suspect with the intense heat it dialates your blood vessels and therefore lowers the BS. I think the lowest they have been after a bath is about 2.5, but i have been as low as LO. on the meter and thankfully i've never been in the bath at the same time! [/QUOTE]
