[QUOTE="plantae, post: 2586116, member: 565464"] You're right that I started the glucose immediately (before I even posted that post if I rememeber correctly) and yes I took too much again (I had jelly beans as well after I was above 6 because they take longer to work than the gel, and I had way too much last time this happened as well. I need to stay calmer and take a more... dunno the word... "controlled?" approach instead of just guzzling gel wanting it to go up in 30 seconds and having more). The gel generally works within 15 minutes for me, but jelly beans much longer and orange juice sometimes not at all (which is why I bought the glucose gel). Peaked at 14 but I didn't check that with a finger prick so it might have been a bit lower or higher. Ooops. It didn't take long to drop again though, but not hypo levels. Edit: looking at my graph after midnight everything was oscillating between 5 and low 6s [I]without[/I] my normal 3AM low (I have a low at 3AM most nights... not severe (3.9 usually)... and it's always at 3AM and doesn't last long so my pancreas or liver must be doing something at that time). The main problem with the regularity of that 3AM low is that I can now turn off the alarm without really waking up :/ so I don't always finger prick or even scan... I basically sleep through it so it's fortunate that it has always, touch wood, corrects itself quickly [/QUOTE]
