[QUOTE="serenity648, post: 1564073"] I understand and agree that a type 2 doesnt have a life threatening hypo, like a type 1. However, when Type 2's blood sugars go low, we can get shaky, tremble, go cold, feel sick and dizzy and can faint. I have experienced all of those symptoms. If I am halfway up a staircase, or in a situation where fainting can be potentially dangerous, then it is scary and serious. I think that, although the terminology may be misleading, this situation of low blood sugars should be viewed in the context of our diabetes and prepared for. I now keep something sweet around when going out, for when this happens to me. We are all different, and some type 2's, even not on medication (like me) are more sensitive to lower blood sugar levels and react to them quickly and severely. Low blood sugar is low blood sugar, regardless of the type of diabetes. The op is suggesting a bracelet with Type 2 on it, not a type 1 hypo alert sort of bracelet. [/QUOTE]
