[QUOTE="Timostags, post: 1905948, member: 490251"] I've just checked my logs and I have had 8 hypos in the last 7 days. I have made massive changes to how I am dealing with the diabetes in the past month. I have gone from only ever testing my BG if I felt unwell to buying a Libre sensor and getting a little obsessed with checking it every half hour. From dosing the same amounts everyday because it worked ok yesterday to carb counting and working out myself what ratios I should be using. Alot of these changes have been trial and error which is increasing the amount of hypos (guessing carb content on food without labels!) I before I changed how I was dealing with the diabetes I would say I would hypo 2-3 times a month and would easily be able to spot a hypo as soon as I dropped below 4. At the moment I don't tend to notice a hypo until my BG is around 2.5. sometimes when my BG is this low It's just a number and I know about of sugar will fix it quickly. sometimes it scares the hell out of me when I start to think what COULD happen with BG that low. Luckily I have been fine and the libre is helping me reduce the number of hypos. I have said to myself that if I don't get the hypos to a frequency I'm happy with and start to regain my awareness I will get a transmitter for the libre so I can get alerts [/QUOTE]
