Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fujifilm" data-source="post: 112320" data-attributes="member: 22250">I do know of people who were not diabetic, not type 1 or 2 or disillusional and they have had a hypo. The thing is most do not know its a hypo.How many times have you heard people say I don't feel well I will get something to eat. Hypo symptomsHow many people do you know who have had a shed full the night before and woke up shaking and sweating and feeling lousy, had something to eat and they are OK. Hypo symptomsNon diabetics or people who are not aware of diabetes do not recognise the signs. Well they do but they don't know what it means.The other major difference is people who are not diabetic have the functioning bits  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  to correct a hypo before it goes to far. Or actually gets to a hypo awareness stage.But I know people who I have worked with doing manual labour and not eaten all day and have passed out. That is a hypo. They had the signs but chose to ignore them. Body shuts down, again the difference is because its naturally induced and not medication the body quickly rectifys the problem and they tend to come round very quick.Hypo awareness is the bodys way of saying feed me.  :lol: Lack of hypo awareness in any type diabetic goes without saying is dangerous.Low hypo awareness is also dangerous, I would rather get the warning signs at 4 - 5 and give myself time to react than get them at 2 - 3.It panics me enough at the thought of a hypo, you know the days when you suddenly feel hypo yet know there is know way you can be.</blockquote>
