So not a critical hypo. Conscious and rational but miserable.


Type 2s on meds or type 2s who eat carby have reactive hypos. Rare to the point of virtually never for others who keep bg within a narrower range at all times.

And I beg to differ. A person who eats carby most of the time is less likely to have a RH episode than someone who keeps to a narrow range (truly narrow, not the wide range you talk about) most of the time. A carb hit when one is used to eating low carb can produce a mother of a RH episode. People who have lived with RH on a regular basis generally know what will possibly happen if they hit the carbs a bit too much after not having them in quantity over time.
