[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1575140, member: 68789"] I Agee with Juicyj (again), speak with your DSN if you think you're losing hypo awareness. We're all different and the important thing is to learn your own signs. For me, if the drop's rapid it can begin when I'm 5.5, which is 'normal'. I also find that the symptoms can vary. It's as if there's a sharing out, my body asking whose turn is it this time. So sometimes my rational self seems fine but my legs aren't working like they should be; other times I'm wittering on like a ventriloquist's puppet that's gained an independent life, and then the next time I can be zoned out on a pretty leaf. But the main thing is to be aware that as soon as the slightest hint that all's not well hits your consciousness you take action to get back to sensible functioning as soon as possible and stop whatever you're doing until you're ok. The consensus is that below 5.0 then you should be eating a glucotab or jelly baby to maintain balance, and you should be 5.5 before operating machinery without fear of disaster. [/QUOTE]
