Hi
Gingernut,
What I describe as a "near hypo" in my wife's case includes shakiness, cold sweat, feebleness, and a degree of confusion whilst still remaining mentally coherent. If I saw the same symptoms in my Type I Father and Daughter, they would (by my description) be "near hypo" and about 10 minutes away from the real thing.
My wife recovers very rapidly after high Carbohydrate intake .... well, she is a bit odd, she married me after all
My wife's blood glucose levels vary between 2.8 to 11.0 Mmol/L, so the higher reading eliminates any thoughts of her being a "borderline" Type II. Type II is rampant in her family, whilst Type I is in mine.
Regards,
Old Smokey
