Message: <blockquote data-quote="SRO" data-source="post: 1103729" data-attributes="member: 211387">Hi Busy,I was terrified of having a hypo when I found I needed insulin.Having my first hypo (got down to 3.3) was quite scary as I shook quite badly so testing was difficult. I ate 3 or 4 jelly babies to help and tested after 10 minutes. My levels weren't rising fast enough so ate the full bag (I'm sure it was a 250g bag).My levels shot right up to 18 because I panicked.I'm not so scared any more as I do feel the onset - usually about the 3.8 mark and I no longer panic as its happening.Hopefully you'll know in your own body how it makes you feel and you'll be on the lookout for the symptoms.I would add that as long as you're testing, hopefully you'll be prepared for it if it were to happen.SRO</blockquote>
