[QUOTE="therower, post: 1422903, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=351907]@Besty W[/USER] . We all have different hypo/ low sugar awareness. To put a bit of perspective on levels, the DVLA set a level of 5mmo/l for being able to drive, anything below and you are breaking the law. A lot of T1 diabetics would consider 4 to be low and would be looking to raise there BS level as a matter of importance. I believe you are recently diagnosed and appear to be currently taking quite a small amount of insulin, this may explain why you are able to manage with your sugars at relatively low levels. You are I suspect in the honeymoon period and your pancreas is still functioning occasionally and helping you along, this will change going forward and your insulin requirements will increase. Hypo unawareness is common in people who have generally been diagnosed for an extended period of time. Hypo / low sugars usually have the following symptoms Sweating Tingling lips/ mouth Blurred/ wobbly / double vision Intense hunger Inability to perform simple tasks and think logically Irritability Any of these feelings would suggest low sugars and warrant hypo treatment, as someone newly diagnosed you may have or have not experienced these feelings so far. Hope this helps. What part of Leicestershire are you in? [/QUOTE]
