The full name for a hypo is hypoglycaemia. It’s when your blood glucose level (also called blood sugar) is too low, usually below 4mmol/l. This can happen if the balance of diabetes medication you take (especially insulin), food you eat and physical activity you do sometimes isn’t right. Not everyone with diabetes will have hypos.
A hypo can happen quickly. So it’s important you know what the signs are and what to do if you are having a hypo.
Signs and symptoms of a hypo
Everyone has different symptoms, but the most common symptoms of a hypo are:
- feeling shaky
- feeling disorientated
- sweating
- being anxious or irritable
- going pale
- palpitations and a fast pulse
- lips feeling tingly
- blurred vision
- being hungry
- feeling tearful
- tiredness
- having a headache
- lack of concentration.
Testing your blood sugar regularly can help you spot a hypo before you get any symptoms.
