[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2060352, member: 374531"] No probs, Sue. A couple of things to be aware of. Because your body's adrenalin stores have maybe been depleted by that hypo and will take a few days to restock, there will be less of a response to later hypos. And as your glyogen stores might have lessened with dealing with it, that will also reduce the ability to deal with hypos. It's quite common for the liver to start sucking glucose out of blood to restock glycogen after a bad hypo, and, ironically, that can lead to another hypo - they often come in pairs. The answer (there's always an answer with T1 - we deal with difficult stuff) is to rake back bolus shots and load up a bit more on oatcakes etc. [/QUOTE]
