Hi Folks ,

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in february this year , I have recently began to experience bouts of Nausea and sweating with drowsiness ,
I have been advised by the doctors etc that a hypo is when your blood sugar is below 4 - however when experiencing this mine is always at 5 - is this a hypo or something else ?
 
You need to go and see your GP you might have a thyroid problem or you are eating things that spike your blood sugar and when it drops your body is reacting

If your bg levels have been running high for some time and you begin to get them under control you can experience what they call False Hypo's, if you Google the term you will get a full explanation.

When I was diagnosed (BG >40mmol) I was told it would take a while to bring my BG down as it had been very high for a long period, and that I would experience hypo symptoms at >4 mmol. If you're BG isn't well controlled hypo symptoms are not unexpected at >4mmol, not saying yours aren't, just some thoughts.
