[QUOTE="Glucobabu, post: 1691442, member: 221251"] I am quite surprised people are saying they get severe hypos at around 4.0 ! I could be feeling and acting perfectly normal even when I am around 3.0 ! And then suddenly it hits you — and of course you overtreat. You want to get out of it quick! 10 - 15 gm carb that people have suggested would be nowhere near enough to treat a hypo. Sometimes you get a post high or often you need to take even more carb to raise it up - it all depends what caused the hypo in the first place. I would never go to bed with BG lower than 6. Always eat a biscuit or two. I do a blood test first thing on waking, before and after each meal, before bed and before I get in the car. I’ve been type 1 for 43 years now and with the help and support of my better half have had a fairly smooth ride so far. But I think dealing with hypos does become your day to day priority. It is always at the back of your mind! [/QUOTE]
