Hi, I am type 2 on insulin.
On Saturday, we had a long journey, come the evening I was very clammy, nauseous, light headed and just feeling awful. I have not had a hypo before and stupidly had left monitor in my bag where we were staying. Whilst out I had a couple of pints of full sugar lemonade and juice to try and raise them. Got back to room and sugars were only 4, so am thinking this was definitely a hypo.
I understand about having drinks or something like jelly babies as this acts quickly, what do you carry with you that will then keep your sugars up?
Any advice gratefully received, thank you
