A member asked:
How often does a diabetic on insulin expect to have a hypoglycemic episode?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never: That is the goal, to never have hypoglycemic episode. You blood sugar diary along with the lack or presence of symptoms will guide your doctor about the proper dose of insulin.
