level at which hypo symptoms appear varies
by sisterkeeper, Oct 22, 2007 12:00AM
My diabetic sister has come to live with me because of her hypo unawareness. I am noticing that sometimes onset of symptoms can start at 87, but sometimes lower.
What causes this variation?
Thanks

i am not a physican, but the mom of a type one diabetic. every one and every low is differnt. i would suggest that you ask you sisiter if you can go to her next dr visit with her and have her docotor or educator help you find ways to deal with the lows, and what to look for.
i know that with my daughter some times she is ok at 70 other times she is not , it is never the same twice.

I HAVE TALKED TO MY DOCTOR ABOUT THIS BUT CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY ANSWERS. I 'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ANSWERES TO THIS FOR YEARS.
I HOPE YOUR SISTER IS WELL. JUST MAKE SURE SHE ALWAYS HAS SOME GLUCOSE TABS WITH HER AT ALL TIMES.
I KNOW IT IS VERY FUSTRATING, BUT IT IS JUST SOMETHING WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH.
