[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 1248503, member: 89325"] Hello... Last night I had a really bad drop in blood sugar at dinner time... I had 50g carbs, bolused some up front and some over the next 30 mins - and approx 45mins after eating my blood sugars just plummeted. It was as if I'd bolused but not eaten :( My evening insulin/carb ratio is 1:15 so I only had a few units in me - but it took two tubes of glucose juice to stabilize it... Then as it was stabilizing I went into what I can only describe as 'convulsions' - it's like extreme shaking that I can't control. I've only experienced it three or four times ever - always with very rapid hypos that cause a lot of sugar to control... I'm not sure if it's the drop in blood sugar, or the counteracting glucose that causes it? My husband was with me (thank god) and he says I look like I'm having a fit, though I'm conscious at the time. ... Eventually all was fine - though did end up with a rebound high - which I managed to get back down again within about two hours. I'm concerned today that the stress of all that may have impacted baby? I'm only 6weeks today and I must have had huge amounts of adrenaline going through my system during it all - not to mention then soaking the poor thing in glucose too [emoji22] [/QUOTE]
