People who say things like "You're Diabetic? Did you eat too much sugar?"
Yesterday I had 3 separate hypos (before breakfast, lunch and bed) and have just had another one. I really want to know what's happening but my mum and dad aren't helping.
 
It could be the hot weather. You may need to reduce your basal till it cools down again . . . Or it could have nothing to do with the heat and you just need to reduce your Lantus.

Discuss it again with your parents. If a pattern is developing and it's not due to you exercising more, something needs to be done to keep you out of hypoland.
 
Hello Harley, I would suggest you consider reducing your basal insulin as it sounds to me as if you have too much at the moment. Do you have a nurse contact at the hospital you can ring?
 
If its before meals it could be too much lantus. Write down your readings and contact your nurse. Meanwhile reducing your lantus by 1 or 2 units and see if that helps. Having 3 hypos a day is quite exhausting
