Important points to remember

Important points to remember

  • Always have something sugary with you for use in an emergency.
  • Wear some medical ID
  • Tell your friends or family what signs you have when you go hypo and how to treat it, as you may not be able to think clearly when your blood glucose goes low.
  • You will come to recognise your own hypo warning signs, but these may change over time, so be prepared to check your blood glucose level if you experience any unusual symptoms.
