[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2396134, member: 372717"] I don't want to scare you (much) but hypos are very very serious. Go low enough and you will become irrational and delusional before passing out. Not sure how well the animals in your enclosure will react to that. Also, repeated hypos will reduce your hypos awareness. The absolute [B]last [/B]thing you want as a T1 is to lose hypo awareness. (Say goodbye to your driving license and your independence). You can possibly regain hypo awareness by aiming for a blood sugar between 6 and 12 for a few months, so consider how high your blood sugar will go if you snack at 10am or reduce insulin. T1 is often a compromise between living your life and having perfect bg. But hypos are [B]incredibly [/B]dangerous and losing hypo awareness is one of the worst things that can happen to a T1. You need fast access to your glucose. Good luck. Time to talk to your colleagues, I think. [/QUOTE]
