[QUOTE="caitycakes, post: 24765, member: 11420"] What a day I had yesterday. I was bemoaning the fact that my levels were higher than normal and was eating a bit less to compensate when out of nowhere at work a routine test uncovered a 3.5 with no syptoms. Nearly fell of my chair. I treated this with 3 glucose tabs and a little carbs and so when I came to have my evening meal I was 9.3. Decided to have low carb evening meal, given that my insulin would be used trying to lower my high level and lo and behold another hypo at 3.4 also syptomless 2 hrs after evening meal. It was low carb not totally carbless!!! Treated this one rather more cautiously with some toast but it was having none of it so (joy of joys) I ate a chocolate bar. Went to bed some 3 hrs later at a disgusting 9.8 and assumed I would be through the roof this morning but wasn't too bad at 6.7. Don't know if when honeymoon coming to an end you get little spurts of production like this? Starting to feel like a yoyo!! lol. Oh well at least I had a chocolate bar, although somehow it just doesn't taste the same when you're having it to treat a hypo, rather than slumped in front of the telly on a friday night with a half pound bar. My god I still can't believe those days are gone along with my post meal smoke!!!!! [/QUOTE]
