Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janet_rabbit" data-source="post: 1173312" data-attributes="member: 293295">My advice is probably not recommended as helping lead to good day-to-day control  - which I've never had in 40 years!  But I like to see the positive in everything, so associate going hypo with a good excuse to eat something sweet that I like.  The thought of being able to have a delicious cake or biscuit makes the hypo a lot less scary.  I remember when I was first diagnosed at age 8 I had a very sweet tooth and was very sad to be told I wouldn't be able to have my mum's homemade jam any more.  But then, within 24 hours of coming out of hospital, I went hypo and was given a jam piece to bring my sugar back up!  So hypos, despite being scary and frustrating,  have a very positive side for me, which is just as well as I've had so many over the years ...  But even with them, and blood glucose charts that look like a mountain range or a roller-coaster ride, I am very happy because I still have no diabetic complications and am very fit and active.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
