Recently I have been needing lots of snacks in order to avoid lows, especially in the afternoon and evening. This afternoon, between about 3pm and 10pm I have consumed a snickers bar (30g carbs), 3 brunch bars (20g carbs per bar), a chocolate milkshake (20g carbs), a bottle of powerade (25g carbs), a piece of brownie (roughly 20g carbs), a glucojuice (15g glucose) and several glucotabs (3g glucose per tab). I gave 6 units of NovoRapid at lunch which I carb counted and I reduced my ratio at dinner (I gave 4.5 units for 70g carbs). I played tennis for an hour and a half this afternoon so would ordinarily expect to have to snack more than usual but not to this extent. I do a split Levemir of 7.5 units around midday and 8.5 units around midnight.
I am an experienced diabetic (diagnosed at 2 - now 23) but I have never experienced anything like this before. It has been happening for the last week or so although not quite to the extent of today. I wondered if anyone had ever had a similar experience, especially on an active day (playing sport etc)?
