Sometimes you need some long-acting carbs...

Urgh.

at 21.20 I was 2.9 - Took 3 dextrose tablets.
at 22.00 I was 5.7
at 22.30 I was 2.9 again. And as I was crouching down to get something to eat I fell right over on my a**, which entertained me greatly :D

I was trying to be good and not over treat the hypo, so as to not consume too many calories! Grr.
 
Oh to be a fly on the wall! 😉 How long after your NR injection was the first 2.9? If I get a hypo like that less than 4 hours after injecting I usually have a top-up biscuit. Hope that's you settled now!

I'm speculating whether 6.0 is OK to sleep on tonight - seemed to work last night, but you never know! Probably end up not being able to sleep till 3 am anyway🙄

lol. Yes hopefully i'll be ok now. It was about 2 hours after eating. Typical, I was high all day and now this.

Maybe you could set your alarm to check in the night to see if you're ok?

You know me and alarms...😱 😉
 
I hope all is well now and your posterior is not too sore
 
Just wondering what you had to eat and if the carb count was right, perhaps you overdid it.:confused:🙂Bev
 
Given you were high all day then crashed could it be that you have some damaged injection sites ?

Hope that things are better today

I accidentally took the dose I always take for pasta that ive measured by eye, but I had far less pasta because I measured it out. I completely forgot 🙄
