I've been having some much lower than usual BGs over the past week which I shared with my DNS in my weekly email last (Sunday) night.
This morning level was 4.7 after breakfast 10:00, my usual breakfast of Greek yogurt and berries, linseed and coconut. I was working in the garden and around 11:30 started to feel ill which very quickly progressed to feeling very ill. Basically I did not feel compus mentis. I went upstairs and checked BGs which were down to 2.3. Crikey !!! My first hypo.
I chomped on two glucotabs followed by 2 weetabix with milk and rested for an hour at which time BGs were up to 8.1.
This was my first hypo since being on insulin (Oct13). DNS advised that BGs can be aggravated by hotter, humid weather and to eat more snacks if I am doing physical work.
Late onset T1, several auto immune issues.
Humalogmix25 twice a day, Methotrexate 25mg once per week, FolicAcid 5mg once per week, prednisolone 5mg daily, Allopurinol 300mg, Calcichew-D3 800iu, Levothyroxine 50mcg, Atenolol 50mg, Losarten 100mg, Aspirin 75mg, Nicorandil 20mg, Nitrolingual GTN spray, Metformin 2000mg, Allimemazine 10mg, Lanzoprazole 30mg, Atorvastatin 20mg, Co Codamol 8/500mg, Depo Medrone (Methylprednisolone) or double Prednisolone for 7 days in case of RA flare.
