[QUOTE="bettylollypop, post: 50071, member: 14208"] this is a very interesting post. I asked my 7year old son what he feels like when his blood sugar goes low, he replied that he feels unsteady on his feet, shakey and 'bonkers' were his words. He knows to check when it feels low and he normally says to me that his blood sugar feels like 3 point something and it normally is, however he is unaware of it being low when it goes under 3. Sometimes he gets a little confused. I treat his hypos with lucozade or dextrose tablets, his nurse told me that these are better for children as it is a bit unfair for them to have to carry sweets around that they can't eat unless they are hypo, which does make sense. The lowest his has been is 2.1 and after his lucozade when his sugar level went back up and he was back to his normal self again, he couldn't remember having drunk his lucozade. [/QUOTE]
