[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 750014, member: 11028"] When you've been running high bg levels for a while its quite common to feel hypo symptoms at a higher level, hence why you were experiencing them at 5-6mmol. They are called [B]False Hypo's [/B](Google for a full explanation). Getting the symptoms now at 3.8mmol is fine and its good that you felt the hypo coming on, over-treating a hypo is something we have all done at some point, only by testing your bg afterwards can you determine how much glucose you need, I find if its within 2 hours postprandial (with active insulin on board) I need glucose and a small carby snack, if its 3-4 hours after injecting then 2-3 JB's is enough.
