i have been getting some strange hypos such as going low very quickly and
struggling to get my blood back up. usualy pretty good with my sugars.
are gluco pens still issued as my chemists seems to think not.

When are your hypos occurring? Within a couple of hours of meals, or later on/overnight?

Cheers,

thanks for letting me no about the pens will try again at chemist. usually treat hypos with either glucos tabs or sugary drink. i do a lot of training so hypos can come at anytime but i
am usualy pretty much on the ball with them. the new doctor at the clinic decided to put my thyroxine up by 25mg. been to my doctor today and he thinks could be somthing to do with
that so dropped it and keeping my fingers crossed.
