wow, great to hear so much reply on the matter.
personaly my highest to day has been beyond my meters range, but it stops reading in numbers at around 50, as iv had readings of 47 in the past, and a few that are just "HI". my lowest reading was 1.9 a few moonths ago, and i did not expect it. having just downed a can of rockstar, as i often do before a vigorous excersize, i did not expect a drop.
since then i have, within limits, tried to ignore my hypos. i try to focus and bear it whilever i feel safe to do so, still with the packet of jelly babies at hand. i find that, not only can i wait them out and my levels will gradualy rise on their own given enough time, but that it makes any following hypos easyer to deal with. i will admit that my first few hypos terrified me, but now i have explored it a little more, i feel i can deal with them better, and much more rationaly, albiet, a little shakey.
i wouldnt recomend anybody else do this, as im sure its not good for you, and i clearly have very little grip on this disease, what with 2 years diagnosed, and fluctuating from 2 to 50+, so i wouldnt take my advice anyway, but i feel safer with hypos now that ai understand a little more, about how it effects me personaly.
