[QUOTE="CheeseSeaker, post: 2698283, member: 531814"] Could be - there is all sorts of stuff in dog treats to make them smell attractive - wouldn't surprise me if you'd got a high reading from that. Glucose sweets are fine - glucose is the fastest thing into the bloodstream (doesn't need digesting to pass through the intestine walls) and onto the red blood cells - so anything convenient with glucose in (preferably not chocolate as that's fatty and takes longer to break down, but even that is fine if you need something and its what you have) Hypo symptoms are 'various' - as depends on which bits of your body are affected first so not always consistent - common ones are cold sweats, shaking, disorientation, confusion, eyes not focusing struggling to think straight etc. You start to get a feel for whats happening - I find though, if I'm concentrating on something I can ignore the symptoms and carry on - I have a watch that vibrates and alarms when I go low (saves me loads of times) but that means you need a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) like a Libre or Dexcom.
