Hypo's

[Jillyfl]

Hi

I am newly diagnosed and I am currently on insulin only with my evening meal. My question is, can I have a hypo say before lunch the next day or is it just for the 4 hours after I have injected insulin?

That will depend on what type of insulin it is, do you know what it's name is?
There are fast acting insulins that last about 4-5 hours but there are also slow acting ones that depending on which they are can last 18 hours, 24 hours or 36 hours (give or take)
