So I know you all know this but I a living proof that a stressful situation can cause a significant drop in BG! I was in a meeting today which I had anticipated would be a stressful one so I had checked directly before and was 8.2 with a steady arrow (CGM) so I ate 4 jelly babies and headed in! Coffee was served and grabbed a biscuit and didn't bolus - 2 hours later I was below 3!! Usual situation of not wanting to draw attention to myself but my boss noticed I was struggling and very graciously offered a 'comfort break' to everyone so I was able to treat without a fuss. The problem is, when I am pumping adrenalin (the same happens when I am running) my low symptoms are less reliable. So basically, it sucks! Spent most of this evening 'wishing' I had eaten more jelly babies and biscuits at the front end! Shoulda woulda coulda
