[QUOTE="moonstone, post: 172330, member: 6133"] Yes I do in fact sometimes think I'm having a hypo and test, only to find I'm at 10-12 or so. Very, very, very irritating - not all the time, definitely not, but I do. I feel quick drops or rises, which I know not all diabetics do - I queried it with my consultant and he said that some of us are just "exquisitely sensitive" to it. When I put it together that's what I deduce is happening at those times - quick changes, so it may be, for example, very soon after eating and I've just gone down quickly from eg 15 to 10; or it could be at night, when I've injected perhaps a correction dose and it kicks in and wakes me up. I get a kind of light-headedness and one or two other things going on, and as I do get loads and loads of hypo symptoms I of course naturally assume it's a hypo.... luckily the only downside of it is a moment of panic and a wasted testing strip :D [/QUOTE]
