Phew thank goodness Spiriete for that & @Kaylz ...I am clueless on insulin use...make sure you get yourself a list of questions ready for the DSN...just the points you need to cover...I've often come out of an appointment & remembered something I needed to ask...but forgot...good luck.
I think the lower ones scare me because this time last week my lowest was 12 and upto 15/16 A’s they level out I think I’ll stop panicking as much.
yeah all of us here completely 'get' how you feel as we've all been there at one point or another, it does make you worry to begin with but you will get there hun 🙂 xx
Hmmm I would've treated the 3.7 with something a bit faster acting than fruit as fruit contains fibre which slows things down, may I suggest if it happens again you have 15-20g of fast acting carbs so say a few jelly babies, fruit pastilles or even some sugar mixed in water and then test again after 15 minutes xx
Sorry I missed I had a few of my little lads jelly sweets first we had them to hand I’m a little panicked trying to stay calm.
Have you tested since you had the sweets to make sure your levels have come back up? Standard is 15-20g fast acting carbs and test again after 15 minutes, you had me panicking there! haha xx
just done it it’s up to 4.8
Did you have anymore sweets when it was 3.9? If not above 4 when you retest you should repeat the fast acting carbs then wait another 15 minutes, test again, keep repeating until you are safely above 4 xx
Should I be ok now it’s 4.8 to let the fruit work and bring my sugars up slowly? Yes I had 3 more jelly’s
Yes you should be now xx
