[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1105436, member: 211362"] My endo explained there is no such thing as a false hypo because I remember asking him about it after reading the term on forums like this. He's explained it more than once to me just to assure me how serious hypo's are and they must be treated. He said that if you are reacting at all with hypo symptoms it is not to be ignored and treatment is required You're not allowed to drive, etc. if you are experiencing hypo symptoms. He explained our bodies do not react for nothing. I hypo anywhere under 5. I've since learnt that the hypo starts for me when my sugar is dropping fast. So if I'm 4.7 one minute and if I was to think that's not hypo level, then 10 minutes later I'd be sitting in the 3's.... but of course my body was already starting to warn me at 4.7. So it is serious when you start to experience hypos and never ignore what your body is telling you. Also my endo explained that everyone has a different 'safe' number... he explained that is the lowest number you can be without starting to hypo because your BGL's are dropping fast. For me that is 5... if I go below that I'm at high risk of hypo symptoms. He said the aim is to keep your BGLs above your safe number. And for anyone who tells me I can't hypo as a type 2 (plenty have said that and I just face palm)... I certainly do and they're all serious. The lowest I've been on my meter is 2.1... but I've missed some of my hypos so I've probably been even lower. I notice the lower I am the longer it takes me to recover. [/QUOTE]
