Hypo = low blood sugar, usually caused by too much insulin for the amount of carbohydrate you have eaten.

I found this online course helpful when I was getting to grips with it all
http://www.bdec-e-learning.com/
I seem to remember there is a section on which insulin (ie meal time or long acting) needed changing depending on when the hypos are happening.
