[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1334413, member: 32394"] Apologies, my post should be edited to read: - Would it be considered reactive hypo glycaemic if it was dropping low close to the next meal - so presumably 4 or 5 hours after eating anything? In respect of hypo treatments, if you aren't on insulin lowering medication your body will counter any low blood sugar with the release of andreneline which will raise raise blood sugar and create insulin resistance and your body will cease producing insulin while blood sugar is low. So you might not need the same quantity/quality of hypo treatment of someone exeperiencing a hypo due to too much exogenous insulin on board, cos that insulin can't be turned off/sucked out and a type 1 diabetic on may well have a slower or not have a counter response to low blood sugar. What do you think it was causing these episodes? Did you test your blood sugar to see if you were low? Had it been quite some time since you last ate? Did you end up unconcious on the floor? If so, I hope you got checked out by a doctor, because that can't really be explained by being a type 2 diabetic treated by diet: diabetes raises blood sugar and doesn't on its own create any risk of low blood sugar and (unless the treatment by diet is simply not eating or drinking alcohol to excess) the dietary treatment shouldn't cause hypo glycaemia because the body's own responses will counter low blood sugar.
