[QUOTE="Eldra, post: 1547250, member: 421443"] Did you have alcohol the night before? Even one pint of beer can do the trick, because it blocks your liver, and prevents it from releasing glucose into the blood, therefore effectively looking like you just had an injection. This effect is usually 5-6h after a drink, and I need about 40g of carbs (always juice in my case) to get back to normal. It usually lasts for about 1-2h. I completely agree with previous posts, the BS going down even after juice can simply be the lag between blood reading and actual values. Also the juice takes a bit to counter-act. I used to get very scared, but now I know that even the WORST hypos I've ever had always come back up after some juice. It's all about being patient, controlling regularly, and trying to control the stress to avoid weird feelings. I like to watch some stupid tv show or something for 5 min if I feel very stressed to keep my mind off it. But calling your dad was a very good thing. [/QUOTE]
