[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1133719, member: 41816"] I would say this comes under the be gentle to yourself while you adjust umbrella. You are in the process of asking your body to switch its function, and fuel and responses from habits that have developed over months, if not years (before you were aware). Have you heard about false hypos? This is where the body is used to being at a certain bg, and reacts with what seem like actual hypo symptoms, even though the numbers still look OK. It is a transition lots of us (T1s, 2s and RHers) go through. The easiest and most comfortable way to go through the phase is to take yourself down gently, enabling you to acclimatise yourself at each stage. This takes time. The problem we RHers have (and I am only realising this as more and more RHers turn up on these threads) is that once we acclimate back to 'normal' figs, we find that even straying a wee bit lower puts the body into Panic Stations. I think [USER=220230]@Kaz261[/USER] will probably agree with this! :) I am guessing, but I think that our RHbodies develop hair trigger hypo reactions (release of all the stress hormones to trigger a gycogen/glucose dump from the liver). [USER=291718]@DanteNXS[/USER] you may have gone through this after your gardening - but remember, I am just speculating. The important thing to remember is that if you treat the feeling with carbs, to bring your bg back up, only use small amounts. Otherwise you risk shooting up too high, and then starting the RH cycle off again. Not easy, when your body is screaming for carbs like mine does during a hypo or false hypo! Hope that helps, even if half of it is me rambling and speculating. :) [/QUOTE]
