What do you do when you get fake hypos? I feel shaky and light headed just now and tested myself but it was just 5.8 mmol... Since i thought this was bad so i took some ice cream. Should i just ignore it next time and it will go away?

I have been diagnosed since last year it's just that i change my diet with interminent fasting and now I am getting lower bs that usual.
I am t2 i just wrongly set the thread to t1 when I opened this thread.Sorry, intermittent fasting is very much a T2 thing which doesn't figure highly in T1 management so I have no views on this.

Then it's probably your body adjusting. If you're not on insulin or blood lowering medication, then 5.8 is pretty good.I am t2 i just wrongly set the thread to t1 when I opened this thread.
Should l ignore it next time? Or should I still take something to fix itThen it's probably your body adjusting. If you're not on insulin or blood lowering medication, then 5.8 is pretty good.
Sorry I'm still new to this forum and just saw your post.I’ve had «fake hypos» with blood sugar above 10, so well, obviously I do not do anything if I get a false hypo when my blood sugar either normal.
So what I do, if I get a false hypo, I always check. If it looks fine I do not do anything about it.
If I am too off to check my own blood sugar, I know it’s not a fake hypo, and treat it immediatly
Hopefully a Moderator can move this thread

Base on your reply I'm guessing it's safe to just ignore it?
What are your blood sugar readings when you get these feelings?Can anyone give me a sense of how long these false hypos can go on for once you’ve been diagnosed? I was diagnosed in April with a very high Hba1c (110) and started having them within two weeks of starting Metformin, and they are still going, despite now having a score in the 60s. My GP is referring me to an endocrinologist, so I’m just trying to treat them with a small amount of carbs in the meantime. It’s getting really tedious, though, because if I forget to have a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack, we’re off to the races every single time...
Usually high 7s, so not actual proper hypos.What are your blood sugar readings when you get these feelings?
