Hi Ruth,
It is not necessarily due to being excited, perhaps Carly was more active, or the weather was colder or eating different foods which are harder to carb count as your never sure what is in sauces and other hidden things. Its hard to predict whether a change in routine will make any difference - but if there were two or three hypo's then remember that hypo's breed hypo's and perhaps run a little higher for a day or so if this happens again.🙂Bev
