    Please some advice on a long night with a hypo!

    Thanks I had forgot about the time frame! She's off her food not like normal so it's difficult to know! But I think I may give her insulin after she's eaten until she's better! She probably won't eat today! I wouldn't be giving her insulin just pure sugar to keep her level up!
