I am just curious as to other peoples experience of hypos and how your symptoms correlate with the reading on your glucometer?
I have had some really severe hypos recently where my readings have come up as 1.7, 1.9, 2.2, LO( so less than 1) symptom wise, in each case, I was extremely sweaty, tremulous, chest tightness and feeling generally awful. However I'm slightly surprised that I got so low without losing consciousness/ seizing/ becoming acutely confused?
I'm just wondering what experience everyone else has had and whether hypos present differently depending on the individual?
