Hi All
Thought I’d ask a wee question, At what BS reading do you consider yourself to be having a hypo.
The medical theory at my health authority is anything under 4 is considered a hypo. I agree with this theory but in practice and let’s face it, thats what we as diabetics are interested in , is not always the case. ive been diabetic nearly 40 years and haven’t always been as well controlled as I am now . In the past I could feel hypo above a reading of 5 , whereas now I can walk around not in a full blown eat every piece of chocolate type hypo with a reading of 2.8 , I know I m better controlled now so I believe this does affect hypos ,
Bearing this in mind the hospital “. Specialists “ in my area want me to keep my Bs between 4and 7 not going to happen , at 4 I’m ok at 3,8 technically a hypo plus I canny drive ,
I think it’s quite difficult to put a number on it as it can vary . And I appreciate we all should have constant BS but as I said in the start what should and what does aren’t always the same thing,
