[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1945403, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=299891]@Briony[/USER], as a TID (not as medical advice or opinion), I know that if I give a larger than usual correction doses of short-acting insulin and my BSL starts to drop more rapidly than usual from say 12mmol/l, I will often experience hypo symptoms around the 6 mmol/l mark. At other times a hypo can sneak up on me when I am running at say 5 mmol/l and the fall in BS is gradual over say, 4 hours plus hours, and then the hypo symptoms 'kick in' about the 3.5 mmol/l mark. To cope with stress I find it easier to up my long-acting or basal insulin and then correct with short-acting insulin more gently. Of course once the 'silly season' is over, the basal /long-acting insulin has to be scaled back. Plus trying to catch up on sleep helps me !! Just my way of coping.[I] Please see what your DSN has to say before trying anything out [/I]!! Best wishes for a better 'silly season' !! [/QUOTE]
