Another crazy lantus hypo!

[katie]

I had a really nasty hypo again last night. I corrected before bed and I guess the alcohol must have already been doing the correcting for me It was about 5am and I dont remember thinking I was hypo but some kind of instinct must have made me get out of bed, as soon as I did I felt awful, was all wobly and could hardly see (ok mostly because I didnt have my glasses on ) I'm out of glucose tabs again so had to go to the kitchen and make a chocolate milkshake with extra sugar and piece of toast with jam.

Feeling tired today! must do yoga though

oooh careful Katie, make sure you don't do yourself some damage my doing a workout if you're not up to it.

I know you've got more years under your belt but I have never corrected after a session before bed, always deal with in the morning or at lunch.

Hope you okay

Just did my work-out and it wasn't too bad!

Yeah it is a bit dodgy correcting after alcohol, but usually im more insulin resistant and need some otherwise I wake up high. I only took 2units. I think it's because Ive been doing lots of exercise. I won't correct next time and see how it goes. Thanks Rossi 🙂

Glad you're okay, having said that the other day when I was correcting almost as much as injecting again, I was always hypoing shortly afterwards, so much for knowing my correction ratio!

piece of toast with jam.

Haven't had that in so long, haven't had a hypo for ages, might just have to pretend I'm hypo and have it. The first time I ever had jam on toast was in the middle of the night in hospital after a hypo

I try not to have slow cho when hypo, unless I need to or if im just using the hypo as an excuse to eat something 😉

I now have a bottle of lucozade in the fridge ready for if I have another night time hypo - I dont like it so I know I wont drink it when im not hypo!

Im jealous of all the peanut butter talk

Hi Katie, On mdi if you have been hypo, you really should follow up with slow cho, as your background insulin gives you a real risk of you becoming lower again, especially after excercise. Sure you know this already hun, crack open the pb!
