This week marks hypo awareness week! We want to know what kind of things people use to treat hypos, and whether you've experienced no hypo awareness?

If you want more information on hypos, you can use the links below:

I bought small juice cartons in Lidl (they were 99c, but they're now €1.19) for 6

I keep one next to my bed, so if I wake up in the early hours with the symptoms (shaking and feeling like I'm freezing cold) I drink it.

Any morning that happens I end up with a 5. something mmol, if I don't drink the juice I get a 7. something

(I'm type 2 btw)

Hi SamDRWF ,

I usually use cranberry or pineapple juice and a plant based chocolate flavored shake depending on the blood sugar at the time.😀👍
