Oh dear, haven't had one of these for a while. Had a shower straight after dinner tonight so didn't test beforehand (as I was 6.8 before dinner). I must've over-estimated the carbs (plus I'd had a bit of exercise a few hours before). Felt a bit shaky coming out of the shower but had left my tester downstairs so I ate some of my Easter Lindt chocolates that just happened to be upstairs. I think I stuffed myself as felt very very sick especially after also eating my dinner! For some reason I didn't think to test myself when I got downstairs (I didn't make a conscious decision not to, it just didn't cross my mind). I had to pop next door to persuade my children to come home after playing there and was probably over there for 30 mins or so. Did a test when I got home: 1.4 (so this was about 45 mins after stuffing myself with chocolate). I guess I was so low that I wasn't thinking straight at all. Have now downed lucozade and have the post hypo exhaustion setting in. I foresee a challenging evening ahead.
