[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1026781, member: 211362"] We're all different with what number we start to hypo on. My endo has taught me I need to know my 'safe' number and stay above it at all times. He worked that out with me and he said my safe number is 5. What that means is if I fall below 5, I am at high risk of hypo because usually my sugar level drops quite fast under 5 and I can be in the 3's before I know it or as low as 2.1 (that is my lowest I've been on my meter). Also my endo said there is no such thing as a false hypo as I did question him about it previously. He commented that if your body is reacting you have already lost your judgment. That means you can't drive or do anything that puts the safety of yourself or others at risk. The last thing to return after treating a hypo is your judgment as well. He told me to never ignore my hypo symptoms and I must treat. You may be 4.8 now for example, but in 10 mins you could be 3.9 or lower. The idea is to bring your sugar level back up past your safe number. [/QUOTE]
