Morning all,
Last night i have experienced the most scary hypo since i started insulin. I have noticed during the whole day i needed a bit less insulin. For lunch around 1.30 i took 3 units Novorapid and for dinner at 6pm i took another 3 units. Half an hour later i noticed to my horror levels of 2.1. It must have happened very suddenly because i couldn't even feel the hypo coming on. I treated the hypo as always: half a glass of orange juice, 3 dextro energy tablets and one piece of fruit. Usually my levels go up after 10-15 min and i very often overtreat. This time i stayed in the 2-3 range for a whole hour although i kept on drinking juice, taking dextro energy and ate two more (big) plums. I felt aweful and scared, was very exhausted. At 3am i woke up and the levels dropped again to 4. I have tested during the whole evening and night with test strips to confirm Libre readings. In the night i had to eat a few more glucose tablets to stay in the 5 range.
This morning i have reduced the Lantus to 12 from 16. I don't think it makes sense to call my hospital because at the moment i don't even have a DN. I have no idea what to do.
