How do you manage hypos when on shots and oral?

No, I’ve never been on insulin. My endo offered me a small dose for the morning but why? I would rather just take insulin without all the rest. My brother insisted that he never corrected. “Not enough insulin” he said. That would have been my option too.
I have my annual foot appointment next week. I guess I’ll calm down after that. I’m lucky that we have Nel, the rep for the CDA on here. She has provided me with lots of links so I will be prepared for my visit with my new family doctor at the end of the month.
Thanks so much for your input and interest. The good people on this site have literally prevented me from going over the edge.
