Probably one that was dropping very slowly, the faster the drop, the stronger the hypo symptoms I find. Glad you made it home OK - must be scary to see that when you have just been driving 😱

Struggling a bit yesterday to keep the levels up, despite reducing insulin doses - hopefully I will manage better today as I have a new Libre sensor on 🙂

08:30 - 3.3
10:45 - 5.0

21:30 - 5.0

According to the Libre I dipped below 4 for a small part of the night, but not by much.
 
I'm preparing to get shot down here but if you feel a hypo coming on or are having a hypo does it have to be sweet rubbish that you take to correct it? Is there nothing healthy that would bring you back from a hypo or deter one from coming on?

As a food addict I'm very interested in this. Some of the things eaten I wouldn't even think to eat ever.

Basically yes it has to be quick acting so full of sugar, depends what you regard as healthy, some people class fruit juice as healthy and some people use that to treat a hypo, BUT it depends what works best and brings levels up quickly for the individual, my go to is jelly babies as is many others, others use fruit pastilles, Lucozade, skittles, fruit juice and so on x
 
Usually something sweet as Kaylz says followed by a little carb. I normally have between 1-3 glucose tablets, depending on my level. Once I start rising I'll have a biscuit or a bite of a cereal bar.

Fasting 6.1
After breakfast 6 3
Before lunch 4.2
After lunch 6.1
Before supper 5.5
After supper 6.9
