Hi everyone,
I'm newly diagnosed type 1.5 and just started on insulin.
So today was day 2 of my 10units of Lantus in the morning.
I woke up with normal levels and I had cereal for breakfast as I was worried the insulin would make me drop too quickly as it did that when my blg was very high.
I went from 117mg/DL to 145 10min after breakfast, to 195 1.5h after breakfast and back to 158 2h after breakfast.
Another hour and a half later I started getting very hot and sweaty and went to check, shaking - I was at 68. Luckily a friend had given me glucose tablets that day so I got it back up and it bounced a bit for the rest of the day but stayed in normal levels.
Now, did the spike in the morning CAUSE the hypo or did the spike jusy help to delay it to later?
I'm a bit worried what to eat tomorrow for breakfast before insulin - normal carb free breakfast or some cereal to give me a bit to use up any insulin so i don't go hypo?
Secondly, I'm currently checking between martial arts classes. I was at 102 before class and decided to have a banana to be sure. Classes went well and the lowest I got was 84, but I feel I'm having to eat banana or similar between classes as I'm worried to go too low - how do you guys eat before or during longer workouts? I am usually trying to do 3 1h classes in an evening and exercising with a lot of food isn't too great, but better than having blood sugars drop.
Any insight on both these points would be amazing.
