Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grant_Vicat" data-source="post: 1693724" data-attributes="member: 388932">Hi [USER=132520]@McOwarth[/USER] Although you specifically mention AFTER a Hypo, which I regularly experienced even though I do not normally suffer from depression, I also found unexplained depression could be a warning sign that I was going Hypo. I enclose a paragraph taken from the book in the photograph:I have a whole battery of warning signs when I am low, sugar-wise. The most obvious is sudden excessive yawning. Many times in public I have been tempted to ask total strangers whether they are diabetic, simply because they yawn incessantly. Is this because the brain thinks it needs bucketfuls of Oxygen to create unattainable energy? I can also feel unnaturally depressed. Red stars can dance within my eyes and if I walk into a darker area, what look like giant sunflower heads blot out my vision. Tingling affects all my mouth my hands shake, and I have a raging headache. I have often been alerted to low readings because I am unable to make decisions. Ironically this is often at lunchtime, in a food shop, when I am trying to work out what adds up to 60g of Carbohydrate. I would usually find that once I had got back to a stable BS, the depression would sometimes go quite quickly. I think the slow release carbs, advised after the quick release, help to settle body chemistry more effectively. Whilst we are all different, I would hope that this could be the case with your regime. I wish you the best of luck</blockquote>
