Hypos

Sean,
when you exercise your blood sugars will drop. As another contributor mentioned you should take something to eat before the exercise starts. The symptoms of hypos are varied and one of them is that you act like you are drunk. When you are at that stage you are very near unconsciousness. The reason you are not aware of your hypos is that you have, as a result of a lot of hypos, become hypo unaware. This can be overcome with good control. I'm not familiar with the insulin you are on but it seems to me that you are certainly taking too much. You need to get this sorted quickly. I would suggest that you reduce insulin levels somewhat and if you then get highs you can increase gradually until you come within target range. I think your target range should be over 5. Exercise also has to be taken into account. Do you do the same exercise everyday and do you eat before exercise. Have a good hols and hope everthing works out well for you.
