[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1749448, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=471861]@klh-2018[/USER] Avoiding hypos as much as you can will help with the depression, personally if I want to avoid a hypo due to work or something else I try and start out with levels above 7mmol/l, have carbs on board minimum of 10g and reduce my bolus injection, if the activity is longer than 5 hours then reduce my basal too, I keep jelly babies/glucogel on me at all times too and if I think i'm dropping then eat some more carbs, to be honest i'd prefer to run slightly higher than lower as I really hate hypos so try to avoid them at all costs, life is alot easier if I can avoid them, they tend to floor me at times, I had 2 on Saturday and haven't had 2 in one day for a few months, I forgot how draining they are and I really do sympathise with you. I know it's hard but with an action plan it can improve :) [/QUOTE]
