I have different symptoms when hypoing; mainly depending on weather its exercise, fast or slow acting insulin bringing it on. Exercise (high cardio / muscle work at gym) i can often feel normal and then test levels and be 1.5 -4 . Until heartbeat slows down then symptoms slowly come on...

When you get a low reading like that, drink some lucozade, give it half an hour to 1 hour and test again, you should have a higher number now. I have had low readings in the 1's before and felt perfect. Others say you should be in a coma! - different people vary allot but if below 3 - eat or...

Reduce both lots of insulin & eat some bread and potato, it won't then I can assure you that. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Me personally, i dont count anything over 11 as high.

Cant you just have the Tuna steak and the Veg? (no cheese) That would be a perfect meal for me as long as there's a few types of veg. regards

Did you take the same fast and slow acting insulin you normally do? (guessing you are T1)

For me it depends on how MUCH i drink, a pint of cider (strongbow / koppaberg ) will rise my bs very fast but can lower in the night when drinking at 8pm ish. So becareful how much fast acting you inject and slow previously on while drinking.

Everyone controls through different methods and ideas and i have been told my method is not the best so be careful. It depends on what you eat, something with higher amounts of carbs / sugar will spike your sugar levels but i personally just prepare before hand by injecting some fast acting...

yes you can but it will greatly increase your sugar levels very fast, therefore i personally would inject some fast acting insulin before hand. DEPENDING ON IF YOU ARE T1 OR T2

Couple of Questions... Seafood mix = frozen bag premixed fish or tinned like tuna? Spinach = like a salad bag of small leaves spread out? eggplant (i guess your American?) aubergine strips or small pieces?

I'm guessing she is a Type1.5 / 2 ? Has she brought / encouraged the diabetes through her lifestyle? If in the position it sounds like she is in i would definitely be stricter to pro long the life of the part operating pancreas. But once your a T1 theirs no going back.

To stay at those low / normal levels i understand you must eat extremely strictly and deny your selves of many what i would call luxuries. However, speaking from the experience of several other family and friends who have had T1 diabetes almost all of their lives (40 yrs+) (i know diabetes...

A very informative reply thanks but why would injecting more insulin be a strain? We inject insulin to deal with whatever amount of sugar / carbs we have; either small or large, which is what a normal body would do. Yes i understand for type 1.5 / 2's what i do would not be a good idea.

My personal opinion i know. This is why i once said some people are a little OCD with their levels. What harm will 1 fluctuation do?. Yes, levels for a long period of time that high will do damage i know. Some people seem extremely restrictive on what they eat and deny themselves of soo much...

Mostly very high 15+ but give it another 1-2 hours and there back down again, sometimes a correction dose needed.

I still eat lots of bread but just inject a larger amount of fast acting insulin a while before to compansate. I don't see a problem with that.

Ketones are usually only created from long times of permanently high BG though aren't they ?

Ive had many high readings in my time just like all the other members on here but still im fine, i just correct with insulin. If your 'normal' and have a high BG reading a few hours after eating or drinking on several occasions and have a few of the early symptoms then YES a would got to A & E...
