So this morning was fun. Everything was normal, BG was slightly high at 7.6 but within my range. I take my basal as usual, no breakfast or bolus until after the school run. All of a sudden I’m at 2.6 and dizzy, sweaty & disorientated. Fun! I am 100% sure I took my Lantus & not Novorapid.
I treated with jelly babies, tested again, still 2.9 so treated again. After about 40 mins I’m back up to 7. But I’m starving.
This is my first big hypo, thanks to the libra I usually catch them before they start & just bump my BG up with a snack. So I thought I knew exactly what to do but suddenly I’m not so sure.
So once you’ve treated the initial hypo symptoms do you always have long acting carbs? I obviously want to avoid roller-coasting up & down all day.
I was starving so had 2 slices of toast & pate and missed the bolus. Was that the right move?
