Hypos

If our bodies run out of glucose (sugar), we sort of 'run down'. We call this 'having a hypo' or 'going low'. Don't worry. It is very normal to have a hypo now and again.

Hypos make different people feel different things. Here is a list of some of the things that people feel.

  • I feel tired
  • I feel confused
  • I feel moody
  • My heart beats quickly
  • I get fuzzy vision
  • I feel hot and sticky
  • My lips tingle
  • I feel weak and shaky
  • I go pale
  • I feel hungry

 

Remember...

 

Hypos happen when there isn't enough glucose (sugar) in your blood.

  • Most people feel a bit strange just before they have a hypo - and these feelings are your body's way of warning you that you're having a hypo.
