Hello @GlitterSparkles
Good to see you posting again. Sorry I don’t have the answer for you, but think someone with the knowledge should be along soon.
Calling @Diakat , @Juicyj , @urbanracer
 
Thanks @Pipp
Hi again @GlitterSparkles
Sadly yes it can happen- especially if I’m dashing about in the park after my active daughter. So I’m guessing that if you and your brother were running, playing on stuff. Then you could have dropped suddenly because of the activity.
 
@GlitterSparkles . Simple answer . YES.
The trick is to try and figure out how it happened. Figure that out and you put that information into the “ I can do this “ box:).
Obviously there are always the times when no matter how hard you try you just can’t figure out why it’s happened.:)
When this happens put it in the “ move on in life “ box.:)
 
That combination of insulin to correct a high and exercise which makes us absorb insulin a but faster ( particularly if say thevinjection was in a thigh and we walked or ran.
Another lesson learnt, experience noted and well done on spotting your hypo and knowing what to do.
