[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2299397, member: 372717"] Have you generally been keeping your levels lower for the last few months, weeks? Do you have a libre or cgm? It may be that you are becoming less hypo aware. (Hypo awareness is also something that can also reduce after many years of T1). Personally I became pretty hypo unaware during pregnancies with both my children, due to keeping my levels "normal" then, and have to keep my levels generally slightly higher than might be ideal because my awareness goes if I have too many hypos. When your blood sugar is very low then pretty well everything packs up, so I personally wouldn't be too concerned about the ankles (but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be). I would be concerned about the lack of hypo warning, see if you can work out why it happened. If you are lose hypo awareness you can often regain it by keeping a bit higher (my doctor recommended a target of 6 to 12) for a few weeks. Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
