I thought that I was doing brilliantly as I had got all my BS readings under 7.8. Nurse said see me in 6 months. Doc said see me in 12 months. Then I suddenly got a 17 reading, immediately took two more both 12.6. I had been extremely tired and cold night before, gone to bed at 19.30. What I did not expect was to feel faint just before lunch, reading 2.3. This all new experience for me. I do not want to bother surgery. When I felt very tired night before, I did not feel like making my usual low carb snack - crispbreads with Stilton, so I drank a can of Guinness. Any comments greatly appreciated.

Hi there, maybe @azure could move this to it's own thread where people will be more likely to see it and reply. Without knowing what medication if any you are on it is hard to say what is going on. Some medications combined with alcohol can cause lows.
 
Sounds like you have been doing brilliantly and I'm sure will get that control back. If you don't understand where the hypo cane from then it's worth talking to doctor or dsn it's what they are there for. Good luck
