Children with diabetes at school

How to recognise a hypo

Most children will have warning signs of a hypo. These warning signs can include:

  • feeling shaky
  • sweating
  • hunger
  • tiredness
  • going pale
  • lack of concentration
  • headaches
  • feeling tearful, stroppy or moody
  • blurred vision.

The signs can be different for each child and the child or their parent/carer or PDSN can tell you what their warning signs are. These should be noted in the child's individual healthcare plan.
