Oh dear! Just seen this. Hope you are OK now! Time for a basal reduction by the sound of it.

Yes, me. I’ve had a rubbish week in this heat with mad hypos then big spikes. There’s no reason to them, no mistakes, nothing different. I’m purposely eating my regular meals yet my blood sugar is suddenly dropping. The other evening it was a b*****r to get up, and then randomly decided to go high and stay high. Corrections didn’t work, but the previous day when I was at 11, a half unit correction (purposely took a reduced correction to avoid a hypo) shot me down to 2.8. 🙄

I can’t wait for the heat to go! Hope you’re ok now @Saoirse Hypos like that aren’t nice.

Sending empathy. Exactly the same. Workout yesterday which would normally lower bg sent it into the teens where dispite drip feeding corrections it stayed most of the day. Until now of course. I’m mostly coffee at this point but I’ll be fine - do take care of yourself, 2.8 is not pleasant at all.
 
Hope things have pottered along a little more smoothly for you today @Saoirse
