Hi Di, I would imagine the treatment had a bigger effect on your levels than the actual illness - steroids and antibios are known to raise BG levels and you had a double whammy on top of the bronchitis 😱

Do you think you overtreated the hypo, or was it a rebound high?

I think I over treated the last bs of 15 (oops) and then I had a carton of orange juice and a slice of toast which is what I usually have if I have a hypo in the 2's. In the 3's I opt for 1 or 2 glucose tablets. I'm assuming it was a rebound high but god only knows :(
