Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mrs Mac" data-source="post: 343964" data-attributes="member: 55788">Hi, I've decided to post because I'm worried about the number of hypos I'm having at the moment and wondered if anyone can offer any suggestion. I'm 35 and was diagnosed type 1 just before Christmas (nice). I managed quite well to start with and made a decission to be positive and to get on with things as normal. My BG was high and each time it came down to around 5/6 I could tell as I felt lightheaded etc. I thought (smugly) that I'd never go fully hypo because I'd spot it quickly. How wrong I was!!I've been having hypos after each evening meal for the past five days (and a few at other times) despite eating what I consider to be a normal meal. For example, I ate home made bean chilli (I'm vegetarian by the way) with brown rice. I was all pleased with myself but then had a hypo 2 hours later. Eventually I called the DSN who lowered my Novorapid from 9 to 7. However, I still had a hypo that evening. I was in a kick boxing class at the time I suppose but I've found this normally increases my BG. Argh! Frustrating!! Then, I was woken up this morning by another hypo (2.3 despite 16 before bed) This is the second time that's happened and I suppose these are the lows that have freaked me out the most. Why is it happening? Maybe my lantus needs adjusting now my levels have dropped a bit?? What happens if I don't wake up??  I'm worried about driving and going to work. I now feel really tired after my rude awakining. Am I panicking too much? Am I normal?? Have I rambled on too much? Did you get bored of reading??? Scheduled to see consultant and dietician in two weeks but I can't wait until then for answers!!Thanks, feel better already for sharing/moaning!!</blockquote>
