Henry mentioned this before. I think it is important. Not knowing if you are having a hypo can be very important information.

Members discussed hypoglycemia unawareness, sharing personal experiences with how they recognize or miss the signs of low blood sugar. Several members described symptoms they watch for, including shakiness, headaches, blurry vision, lightheadedness, and dizziness, while others noted that symptoms don't always appear. A recurring theme was the importance of frequent blood sugar monitoring and talking to a doctor, with one member suggesting a CGM with low alarms as a helpful tool for those who don't feel symptoms.

I personally was fingersticking 12 times a day when doing insulins. I was really concerned about overdosing insulins, especially the fast acting insulin.

Now I'm down to 7-8 times a day.
