[QUOTE="TTTE, post: 1844052, member: 468551"] Thank you for your reply. I do a lot of self testing which my doctor says isn't necessary as type 2 diabetic, however as these 2 episodes have shown it's just as well that I did. I fix trains for a living (which also involves some driving of them) so self testing when operating heavy machinery or driving whilst at work has become so common place it is untrue. I even have a test meter just for work! Since diagnosis my BG readings have shown a steady downward trend from 18 mmol/l at diagnosis down to a typical reading in the 8's mmol/l. These sudden (and thankfully rare) dips into the low readings have me worried. Was it something I ate or drank or is it my life style (I'm a shift worker) Hopefully the doctor will have an insight into this [/QUOTE]
