[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 2201919, member: 429571"] What basal are you on if you don't mind me asking? Could be worth looking into a change (again, don't take my word for it, talk to your DSN). Are the hypos happening 1-2 hours after your carby meal? Could be that the carbs aren't breaking down in time to catch the workout crash. High carb foods (mainly pasta, rice and noodles to a lesser extent) take a long time to break down when digested, as they are more complicated than simple sugary carbs. I know egg pasta (spaghetti, tagliatelle etc) doesn't make a change to my sugars until about 2 hours after i eat, so if i inject early (or eat post workout so i get the crash either way) i try to have something fast acting that will tide me over until the carbs kick in. This could be a couple of biscuits. If i don't, i go hypo. Hope you get down to the bottom of this, having that many hypos must make you feel grumpy! [/QUOTE]
