[QUOTE="smidge, post: 202697, member: 29301"] Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help me? Yesterday evening I had a hypo, treated it and then went quite high for several hours, and I'm wondering where I went wrong. My figures were: Before tea - 7.6 Had chicken jalfrezi and 20g basmatti rice and 1 poppadom, followed by strawberries, raspberries, melon and cream. In total this was about 34g carb. As I was a little high before tea, I decided to take 4 units Apidra. I normally take 1 unit Apidra to about 10g carb. 2 hours after tea - 4.6 (was happy with this). I then set about crushing cardboard boxes as it was recycle day. After about half hour I felt a bit shaky, so I tested again - 2.9 Had 100ml orange juice, waited 15 minutes and tested - 5.1 Had two squares chocolate and a rich tea biscuit (about 10g carb in total) just to make sure the BG wouldn't drop again. Tested 30 minutes later - 10.6. Decided not to correct, but tested two hours later expecting it to be coming down - 12.5. At that point I gave up and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and fasting level was 6.8 (which is about normal for me). Can anyone offer any advice please? I don't know why I had hypo, why I went so high after the hypo and whether I should have corrected when the figure went so high. Any help welcome! Smidge [/QUOTE]
