Hello. I was diagnosed type 1 just before Christmas. After finally getting used to insulin, carb counting and injections my blood sugar is around 6 and eight. After months of high twenties being told I was type 2, I am pleased with this.
Over the past three days though I have had really low blood sugars for no reason, just a sudden drop with no warnings like other hypos I have had. Usually once I hit fours I feel funny then shaky. On Thursday I tested blood before heading out to lunch with hubby. It was 6.4. I drove ten minutes to a restaurant, tested it was 3.7 and I felt a bit spacey but nothing like before. I had a good meal and didn't inject, just kept an eye on sugars. I had to work. When I left work to drive home was 8 , I got home ten minutes later it was 4.2. No symptoms. Today we went shopping. It was 6.9 before we headed home, then fifteen mins later 3.6 , no warnings. I ate a sandwich and crisps, no injection again, then went to bed as really tired. Three hours sleep later it is 8.1. I still feel exhausted as I did before diagnosis. Obviously I have no diabetic nurses to ask this weekend and I am concerned as I don't know why it's dropping or why I have no warning.
Any ideas?
