[QUOTE="tom79, post: 220287, member: 30132"] Only been type 1 a year now, had my HbA1c which was 6.5 or 7.5 i cant remember, but they said it is right where it should (they where impressed anyways haha) Last night I had my normal carbs with my normal shot (25 of novamix 30) which will always get my blood down to about 9 a couple of hours after eating, actually i had eaten a little more than usual because i had some onion bhajis also lol anyways... 1 hour after eating i felt a bit weird so i tested by blood and it was 5.5, i had a little something to eat aware that so soon after taking my shot it should be much higher, and i test again and 4.5 going down and fast!! I then panic so down half a bottle of lucozade, it went upto 6 or so about 15mins after, then rise to 7 so i went down the shops to buy more lucozade as id ran out i got home about 15 mins or so after my last test and when i test again it was in the 4's again! panic set in, so i had a whole bottle of lucozade and some biscuits, and it wouldnt go above 5! so i then drink the other half of my drink from earlier, down a big glass of milk, eat yet more biscuits (about 5! i was in aright panic) followed by some bread and called 999 freaking out I think the mass food in the end helped because i went upto 15.. which i know is high but jeez what a nightmare! my fingers kill, from testing so much, my docs going to go nuts at using so many strips lol. and now im paranoid because i dont understand it! I think it is my fault though, its one of 2 things i think, i took my shot i take later in the day than normal (about 3 hours later) I also was quite busy that day also and more active. I need to sort it out i was doing well, this is a wakeup call big time! and a worry, i live alone and if i did pass out, well id be screwed. [/QUOTE]
