[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 722227, member: 53162"] Hey Sam, There's a lot to take in when first diagnosed, so try not to stress too much. If he feels dodgy at around 4 then that's good as he's got hypo awareness, so best to eat a biscuit or 2 at this reading. When treating hypo your method sounds good, either treat with glucotabs, Apple juice or jelly babies as these are quick sugar fixes then some carbs so bag of crisps, a few biscuits that type of thing, try not to over treat as he will end up going high again. Taking slow acting is ok too as he's said it is a slow release and he needs to take this. Here's an important question though do you know why he hypo'd ? Was it too much insulin ? It's good to find this out to help prevent them. Keep posting queries too on here if your unsure, there's plenty of people to help ;) [/QUOTE]
