| When I was diagnosed, and once I became stable after a few days in hospital, the nurses purposefully set aside a day for a "controlled hypo" to make sure I knew what to expect when it happened. They didn't increase my dose or anything, they just had me skip a meal (I was on NPH at the time). I don't remember it being too bad - a headache, some shakes, sweating, that was about it. I don't think they let me drop too low though, maybe to 4 mmol-ish? I was in the UK at the time and when I came back to the States they kept me in hospital for another week for their training but never included a "hypo day." I wonder if a controlled hypo as part of education is a common thing here or not?
