She used to not worry at all about lows before, which stressed us out. I’m glad she is now aware they aren’t good but don’t want her to be frightened. When she has a ‘normal’ low she feels it but we treat it and she’s fine. A ‘bad’ low is when she’s had a couple of times dropping fast, she’s felt it but can’t explain how she feels and she has then panicked which has made the situation more stressful. She’s only had a couple of these but feel they’ve made her now more worried if she goes even slightly low. But thinking what you have all mentioned is having more hypo treatments. We have these at home, they’re everywhere! But I’ll put together a hypo kit for when she’s out of the house. At the moment we just put in lift shots loose in her bag. But maybe having something dedicated for hypos will make her feel safer.I do have the glucagon injections and I wanted to use it during both bad lows but she wouldn’t let me. Later she said it meant that she was scared she was in danger. We don’t do much regarding IoB. We’ve been looking at it if she’s going to exercise but wondering how do you all monitor that?</blockquote>
