[QUOTE="durwyn, post: 145206, member: 7233"] I was wondering if folk with bit more experience could give me some advice please. I'm in my late 30s and was diagnosed with type 1 a couple of years ago. I fairly frequently find my blood sugar levels around 4 - when this happens I feel a bit shaky, eat something and everything's ok. I've just been on holiday and was on a long walk with the family - had been carrying my 4 year old son on my shoulders. Realised my blood was low and we didn't have any food with us. It all worked out fine but it made me realise I don't really know how dangerous a hypo is and what's involved. Is anyone able to explain please? I guess at some point unconciousness will kick in - what kind of blood glucose level will this occur at? How long does it take? What further symptoms? If I'm out on a long walk am I best trying to get quickly to some food or sitting down and waiting (e.g. letting my wife go off and get something). thanks Durwyn [/QUOTE]
