[QUOTE="samowen268, post: 1925917, member: 421720"] hi all, I hope everyone is well. recently, for the past month or so I’ve been having intense hypo’s after I eat my evening meal, usually around 6pm. I don’t eat anything exciting or particularly healthy for my evening meal, usually something like chicken, sausages, sometimes toast etc or chicken dippers (I know this isn’t a great meal but I’m 19 and unfortunately extremely picky with food, I am trying to change this). For example, my bloods were 6.2 before my meal tonight, I injected and had my food a few minutes later, about 5 minutes after I finish my meal I start to feel the usual hypo symptoms. I check my bloods and they are 4.5, I realise my food won’t have had time to digest yet so I leave it and expect it’ll rise a little. Just a few minutes later my bloods are down to 2.3! Not only is this happening once, after I treat the initial hypo I get another hypo twenty minutes later??? Then about 2/3 hours after I have begun to notice that my bloods are actually going high and I have to give myself correction doses?? I’m just baffled, I’m not eating anything particularly “carby”, I’ve spoken to a diabetic nurse who saw no issue with what I ate for my evening meal. I cut out fries because I thought perhaps they were slow releasing carbs or something but it’s made no difference. I’m just confused! I don’t see how or why this happens, should I perhaps start injecting after my meals? thank you for any help or if you can point out any mistakes I’m making, I’m hypoing regularly and it’s starting to take a toll on me, I’m grateful for any answers to this :) [/QUOTE]
