Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jc3131" data-source="post: 1580491" data-attributes="member: 411987">It's been a strange one so far today.I saw my dsn yesterday and mentioned the strange issue I had with Weetabix and my readings. When I was first diagnosed Weetabix used to put my blood up to around the 15mmol mark, so I stopped eating it. Anyway I tried some last week with 2 units of novorapid and everything was fine. The next day I did the same and I was near hypoing at 3.2mmol after 2 hrs of eating. So I mentioned  this and decided to try the Weetabix without any insulin.Well 4 weetabix went down my throat  and two hours later I was 5.7mmol after being  5.2 just before I ate it. This is where things got interesting. An hour later the hypo started while I was buying a sausage bacon and egg sarnie. I dashed home and I was 3.2mmol and I scoffed my sarnie (which I had planned to take some insulin.) And drank a glass off fresh orange. 20 mins later I was 9.2mmol so rightly or wrongly  I gave myself a unit of novo. All morning and into the afternoon I have just ate as I've been hungry all the time with low blood sugar feelings. When i tested Ive been around the 5mmol mark so I just  kept eating snacks etc.I'm  only on 3u of Lantus and it's been fine for about a month after it was reduced by a unit. Today has been a strange one, is this the norm? Esp for a honeymooner?</blockquote>
