[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1257804, member: 17713"] You need to identify the cause... If 2-3 hours after a bolus then its the bolus ratio... If its any other time then normally its the basal. High carbs do play a part in all of this.....the lower the carbs, the less insulin and the less room for error. Also... The quicker the levels are dropping the less likely daughter is to feel them... However, although she does not think "I'm Hypo"...... She may have other thoughts with hypo's that are relevant. Ie.. I never think I'm hypo.... However... For me. I never have any hunger, and never think about eating or testing unless I am hypo.. So that is actually my recognition. If I suddenly feel in my brain "I need to eat"... That is my hypo signal..... It may be that your daughter has or does something each time that could trigger her long term to get help or for others to think "hypo". I now have a box of sugar cubes in my bag and written on top and on a card inside is "I'm hypo"... Tell somebody. As I never used to tell anybody either. A non diabetic counsellor advised this.. And it has helped me a lot after 30 years!! [/QUOTE]
