[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2450912, member: 41885"] In a few mins, maybe 10 minutes the false hypo will pass as your liver responds. It needs time to respond. It will pass. Thats why its called a false hypo. Its unpleasant (I get them) but not harmful. As your numbers stabilise they will become fewer. By leaping in to 'treat' it you are causing a raise and then sudden fall of blood sugar levels, and the cycle of unpleasant feelings keeps going. Stop, breathe, sit if you can, perhaps have a few sips of water, give it at least 10 mins, see what happens. Your body knows what it is doing. Often false hypos happen after a higher than normal carb amount, and its the rebound low which is happening. It can feel scary, as you can feel like you are having a panic attack, but its ok, it will pass. 106 is not low, not dangerous, wont harm you. I often go down to half of that. [/QUOTE]
