20.1 I knew that pasta would be a naughty treat but thought I was being extremely conservative with my insulin I.e multiwave with 2.5 units up front as I hadn't eaten anything since 11.30am so my tummy should be empty and I'm usually absolutely fine with 3 units up front for dinner and the rest as multiwave. Results one of my worst adult hypos took nearly two hours to get out of the low 2's with 10 jelly babies, hypo stop gel and a crunchie bar😱 plus stopping the multiwave and when BG was down to 2.2 after nearly an hour Stopping the basal. At two or three points I felt like I was going to collapse and I had bright sparkly lights. I wasn't happy falling asleep whilst I was still 4 but I was exhausted. I know that I over treated but when it still going low every 15 minutes for so loI was in panicng I was in panic mode. It would have been much worse if I didn't have the pump.
Amanda, there's an old trick for averting the massive high after over treatment of hypo. Just work out how many carbs you ate then bolus for it. Obviously deducting approximately 20 carbs for the hypo.
Not so good at the moment as recovering from a 2.8 hypo. Was wondering why I had the shakes, as I had eaten a short while before, now waiting for the snack to kick in.
