Morning folks. I've a rather odd question but thought maybe someone here might be knowledgable?
A friend of ours (non diabetic) visited us, while he was here (and post eating) he complained that he was feeling very unwell, shaky and just "ill". Out of curiosity, I checked his bg and it was 2.1 - panic stations! We insisted he have a banana, waited a while and retested, by which point he felt considerably better - it was 5.0.
I should have double checked the original result but it tied in with what I know of hypoglycaemia and he really did feel very unwell. Any thoughts on this?
He does take meds for a medical condition, including slow release morphine, but this had never happened before.
Thanks.
