Thank you I haven't seen those where do you get them? X
Thank you I haven't seen those where do you get them? XI find the fastest way to treat my hypos are the very berry glucose drinks and only have carbs when back in range. Found if I ate biscuits or chocolates immediately following fast acting hypo treatment the b's rise was a lot slower.
No none of those xWhat advice are you seeking...?
Sometimes these things are a mystery although a hypo is usually the result of too much insulin or increased activity.....I would rule them out first....
Aw thank you no I was just in her office so wasn't embarrassed and used to being at Dr or hospital every week but it was v strange x@fillyp .
Sounds like you had what I like to call a " good 'un "
Sometimes things diabetes related have no rhyme or reason as I'm sure you know.
Perhaps it could have been the anxiety and stress of being at your doctors having blood test, then combined with worry, embarrassment of being in the position you found yourself ( I wouldn't want a hypo in a doctors surgery) all these things could have contributed to what started out as a normal hypo.
Hope you feel better now.

I usually get them from boots chemist or from AmazonThank you I haven't seen those where do you get them? X
that sounds like a proper barnstormer of a hypo -- LOL -- we've all had those !!Thank you I normally have juice first but used glucose tablets in past then milk and biscuits and its worked before. When I called my nurse she said it wasn't enough carbs! What 3 glucose tablets, half a bottle milk, 9 biscuits and 6-8 chocolates ?? Lol
I had 3 glucose tablets first as I said xThere are sometimes reasons why diabetes just wants to do its own thing for now reason that I can figure.
I do notice that you had no quick acting glucose in your hypo treatment. The fat in things like milk and chocolate delay the absorption of the sugar so your hypo could last longer and your rise may happen later.
I always carry Gluco tabs with me as this act fast when I hypo.
Tresiba and I take it at lunch time xthat sounds like a proper barnstormer of a hypo -- LOL -- we've all had those !!
as an additional something to think about............ what is your long acting insulin ?
what time do you take it ? and how long after taking it did the hypo occur ?
have a look at this link for info regarding this as a possibility with lantus...https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lantus-users.67760/
Thank you I've tried thst before but gagged lolI get Gluco gel on repeat prescription, small tubes of 10g glucose, I find they're good for a sudden drop, sometimes with glucose tabs, depending how far from my last injection I am.

I had them in my fridge for years never used them plus used for when you've passed out for some one else go administer. I enjoy shoving the sugar in my mouth instead what an excuse loli believe there's something called a glucagon injection kit which used to treat severe hypoglycemia and takes just 10 to 15 min to work.
Hope you find them they not only work for me fantastically but are also really easy to carry around they are in very small plastic bottlesThank you ill have a look in Boots tomorrow for those drinks xx
