[QUOTE="Scimama, post: 1055207, member: 110645"] Hi [USER=44668]@jimmyr[/USER] I don't think there is any way to tell if its a hypo or hyper without testing, from my own experience I have specific symptoms/feeling unwell, shaking, tired etc when I have a BG level below 4, but I have VERY similar symptoms when I am dehydrated and have "normal" BG levels. So I generally have a large drink of water and test if I can before eating anything. As a thought, you said about strokes and your other medication, my father (also a diabetic) had a few strokes last year and now does have symptoms of weakness, tiredness etc similar to what you have described, these are related to his strokes and medication rather than his diabetes. Maybe have a chat with your GP?? [/QUOTE]
