hypo

[ickihun]

I agree, but I just wanted to warn ally about quick high spikes, which because she is doing so well, a little boost is all that's necessary!

I have to agree. I have severe insulin resistance so I take protein nibble rather than glucose asi dont want to flood with insulin after glucose intake. Protein is enough for me but everyone is different.
I very very rarely have hypos now, even on mixed insulin and very regular testing.

@nosher8355 Thats why glucose tablets are good - easy to measure and take as much as needed.

@ally1 Perhaps it was just a one off? Be aware of what it felt like and test if you feel at all 'off' but don't let it stress you. It sounds like you're doing very well

Thank you. I was petrified but now know what to look out for and to test

 

[ally1]

That's brilliant!

Just try the odd random test.

Maybe it's worth having a chat with your GP/dsn to see if your victoza dosage is too high!

Yes I will ask

I am very glad you are feeling better, Ally

reading this can someone please tell me as many symptoms as possible for being too low/hypo? many thanks

 

[TJR56]

thank you. Where can I buy the glucose tablets from

You can buy them at chemists (Boots, whatever) and some big supermarkets. Glucose or Dextrose are the same thing.

There is so many, but if you look on the home page there is a list there!

The main ones are shaking, sweating, thirst, confusion, hunger, heart palpitations, and so on. But as is often said, we have different symptoms, I never had the shakes or palpitations.
