I have had it for many years. Perhaps a lot longer than I

Yikes! With that history, isn't a mere hypo of 76 pretty much a
non-event?

By the way, how low is 76 for you? My mom gets symptoms of a low if she
goes under 100, and at 75 she loses her vision. I know that some folks
don't show symptoms until they are below 70.

I have been as low as 26 but that was many years ago. I am supposed to
stay between 90 and 130. I had no symptoms at 76. Was talking on the
phone to someone and she didn't mention that I sounded goofy which I
sometimes do when hypo.


Last night I felt distinctly "funny" at about 2am, and my bg was 73. I ate a
small apple. A few nights before then I woke up with a bg of 64, and did not
feel it at all. Much has been written about the occasional inability to
detect hypos. I read of people collapsing from a hypo without being aware it
was coming.

I have a friend like that. Has to set the alarm clock for 2:30 AM to
take a reading. The situation in the middle of the night is usually
either way too high, requiring insulin, or too low, requiring food.
That individual has been classified a type 1.5 by a competent endo,
a type 1 with insulin resistance.
