[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 709467, member: 41816"] Hi DD, So glad you are OK! What a terrible experience. But I'm a little confused. I've just read your posts, and my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong) is that you normally low carb, with presumably correspondingly small doses of insulin? And on Sunday, your experience was a high carb meal, with a larger than usual dose of insulin. Since the meal disagreed with you, it made you sick, so there was no expected rise in BG, and you hypoed. Leading to a horrifically frightening experience. So while this is a valuable lesson to everyone who uses insulin, isn't it also a very good example of how eating low carb, with correspondingly low insulin doses, reduces the risk of this kind of terrible experience? It is one of Bernstein's recurring themes that small doses means small risk of error. On a totally personal note, I hope you recover enough to at least enjoy some of your Xmas food over the next few days. I know how much you enjoy this time of year, and it would be a pity to be feeling awful through it all. That is if you can even contemplate the sight of food at the moment. [/QUOTE]
