[QUOTE="minitata, post: 301908, member: 36260"] I normally eat fairly low carb - less than 60 grams most days. As well as being a type 2 I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and chronic fatigue. Yesterday I went out to lunch at Slattery's in Bury. It is a wedding cake maker place and is known to be chocolate heaven. I ate loads more carbs than I would normally do. As I was still full I didn't eat anything following this meal (turkey, bacon and goat's cheese on 3 slices of toast - of which I left half a slice - with salad and coleslaw, dark chocolate tart and home-made ice cream, and coffee) I went to bed as usual at about 6.30 pm. At 7.45 I awoke to a hypo - my bg was 1.4 - I had a bottle of lucozade (given to me by my mum after dad died, not something I usually have in) so I drank it. Half an hour later bg was 3. I was still feeling shaky so I joined hubby downstairs and after another 15 minutes I had a banana. I went back to bed at about 9 pm with my heart pounding, so I checked my bp, an average over 4 takes was 163/126 and a pulse of 115. Do other low carbers find themselves having hypos if they suddenly eat a lot of carbs? Or find their bp goes way, way high? Thanks for any information MTT [/QUOTE]
