• Treatment of hypoglycaemia for people with type 2 diabetes who weigh less than 70 kg, and for most people with type 1 diabetes, is to eat 15 g of a quick-acting carbohydrate immediately. (HypoPak Glucose 15gram)
• People with type 2 diabetes who weigh over 70 kg should eat 30 g of rapid-acting carbohydrate (HypoPak Glucose 30gram)
  These amounts may be less for children or people using an insulin pump.
• Retest your glucose level in 15 minutes, If it's above 4 mmol/L, have a carbohydrate snack. (HypoPak Vanilla Biscuit) If it's still below 4 mmol/L, repeat the same amount of rapid-acting carbohydrate and retest in 15 minutes.

HbA1c is the most practical target tool as reflects glycaemic control over the previous 3 months. HbA1c is a blood test that measures the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the past two to three months.

The target HbA1c in most patients with diabetes is < 53 mmol/mol

Low Risk - < 48 mmol/mol

Lifestyle changes are essential at all times for the management of type 2 diabetes including developing an individualised weight management plan
Aim for 5-10% loss of total body weight if the patient is overweight (BMI > 30 kg/m2 OR BMI > 25 kg/m2 with waist circumference > 88 cm in women or > 102 cm in men)

Aim for 10-15% loss of total body weight loss for remission of type 2 diabetes

The cornerstones of lifestyle changes are:

• Healthy eating
• Physical activity
• Diabetes education and support aiming to increase self-management
• Healthy sleep
