[QUOTE="Shaolindan, post: 588960, member: 48686"] When I changed hospitals and joined a different diabetic unit - my nurse and consultant were shocked to discover what I had been taught when I was originally diagnosed in 1990. I had been told, at a fairly well known London hospital that I should aim to have a blood sugar of between 3 to 9 mmol/l. As a consequence my hypo awareness was bad to say the least. The dietician advised that I keep my sugars above 7 for few weeks. This was brilliant advice as I now can tell when my sugars are below 4.5 mmol/l and that along with DAFNE and an insulin pump mean that a hypo is a very rare event for me. It also means that I catch them before I end up in that sweaty dazed state - so no one ever notices. [/QUOTE]
