How do I know if I am having a hypo?
Imagine watching a scary film or sitting at the top of a rollercoaster, about to go down. These are stressful situations for most people. The brain senses that glucose levels are dropping and sends out warning signs.

The common ones would include palpitations, sweating, feeling shaky, feeling hungry and experiencing tingling of the lips.

If these symptoms are ignored, there is a risk of becoming drowsy, confused or having a seizure, as the brain cannot function properly whilst blood glucose is so low.
