[QUOTE="iHs, post: 455759, member: 8799"] Hi Beachbag As you are now achieving better control of your bg levels with the pre mixed insulins, the bg level of 3.6mmol is not exactly the true hypo feeling so don't worry that you didn't get the classic hypo feeling. You will probably get it when your bg falls to below 3.5mmol. The time to get a bit concerned is when bg levels fall down to 3mmol or below that even as that usually signifies not enough carb being eaten or the other way of too much insulin or even control of bg levels being 'too tight' For the time being remember to eat carb in the correct amounts like I said before - 'little and often' and test your bg levels frequently until you are able to know what amounts of carb you need to eat at different times of the day to keep the action of the pre mixed insulin ok. ALWAYS ALWAYS carry some glucose tabs or sweets on you when you go out especially when doing any form of exercise and also keep something like a bag of hula hoops on you just in case you need a bit more than just glucose tabs. Also, remember to take your bg meter out with you so that you can test to find out how low or high your bg is and take prevention steps. Its easier through bg testing to prevent hypos than it is to treat them.... [/QUOTE]
