[QUOTE="NotBeyonce, post: 1687792, member: 468355"] I ate my breakfast this morning. Pre-Prandial: 5.2 mmol/L Post-Prandial (2 hours): 8.0 mmol/L Uggh, I was 0.1 over my goal. I try to be 7.9 or lower. I ended up getting really busy and didn't end up eating for 6 hours. I was feeling hungry so I go and get something to eat. I sit down to eat at the table and go to take my blood sugar and realize that my hands are shaking and I can't hold my glucose monitor still enough to take my blood, my heart is beating really fast, and I'm getting kind of confused. I end up finally focusing and it's 2.9 (so probably low to mid 3s). I have those fast acting glucose tablets, but realized I didn't know where my purse was and probably wouldn't have been able to open the package. So I just scarfed down the food that was in front of me and when I felt a little better got some OJ. So scary. It's so weird that I had ZERO idea I was going hypo except for a slight increase in hunger. I've now broken the seal on my glucose tablet packet, so I'll actually be able to open it in a time of need. Definitely not going more than 4 hours w/o a meal or snack (and probably test too). I need to build more hypo awareness 'cause it felt scary. I don't know what i would have done if I didn't have food in front of me that luckily had some carbs. Also, is hyperglycemia afterwards normal? Pre-Prandial: 2.9 mmol/L 20 minutes later: 3.9 mmol/L 2 hours post: 9.8 mmol/L [/QUOTE]
