[QUOTE="smidge, post: 185160, member: 29301"] Hi Lucie! That must be tough for you! I guess I'm lucky as I'm not Type1 (yet) I still produce basal insulin and my body still produces glucagen (?) so corrects me pretty well if I'm going a bit low, so I probably don't suffer hypos as much as some of you - in fact, in the 6 months I've been on insulin I've only had two (one very mild 3.8 shortly after starting basal, and one more severe 2.7 shortly after starting rapid-acting). Both times, I was pretty shaky, headachey and not feeling right, so it was pretty obvious to me I needed to test. The second one did catch me out a bit as I was having a glass of wine after my food and I was thinking 'one glass of wine doesn't usually go to my head like this' - and then I realised! :oops: I guess you've been on insulin a long time and don't produce any insulin of your own? I think I've probably got that to look forward to if I turn out to be LADA :( , but while I''m still producing basal insulin, it's easier to control the BG with rapid-acting at meal times and get good HbA1c wihtout going hypo.
