[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1659185, member: 41816"] it is because those delayed symptoms aren't actually the hypo symptoms. They are your body's reaction to the huge dumpage of stress hormones. Basically, you go hypo, and your body treats it as an emergency, rapidly dumping stress hormones into your system to drive blood glucose up as quickly as possible, by forcing your reserves to release glucose. Think about what happens after a near miss car accident. Fight or flight response. And after that near miss crash you get all the wobbles, the shakes, the trembling knees, sweating and feeling wiped out. My advice would be to minimise that step as much as possible, by heading the hypo of before it starts. The reason being that endlessly flooding your body with stress, day after day, year after year, can cause its own set of problems. Obviously, your situation is being investigated (thank goodness) but please don't let them fob you off. Keep pushing til you have an answer. Endless cycles of Fight or Flight is no way to live.
