So today I recorded my lowest ever BS reading since I've been recording of 5.2. Had breakfast and 2 hours later was still at 12.8 which is pretty normal for me. Went up the high street to the bank then walked to meet my mother in law off a coach at noon. Walked to the Co-op to get some salad and stuff for lunch and then walked home, or started to.
Halfway home I started to feel awful, very sweaty and clammy, shaking and dizzy and felt like I was going to keel over. Id only walked about 2 miles which is nothing for me but I had to sit on the grass verge while my daughter phoned my husband to come and pick me up cos I couldn't go any further. I had nothing sweet on me so just nibbled a couple of breadsticks and had some low sugar squash my mother in law had on her. Got picked up and when I got in tested my sugars again and they were 5.6.
Felt pretty bad for a while till I'd had something to eat and drink.
So, even though my BS wasn't really low, was this a hypo?
