[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2315353, member: 372717"] It's not the fact that I had the low that is the issue, it's the fact that it was so steep and took so much glucose (50g) to pull out from it. Normally a low would take 5g or 10g. 50g is 16 units of humalog for me. Not at all worried by the double figures, as I was knocking back glucose in a panic while I watched my glucose drop lower and lower. I honestly expected it to go up to 15 or 16. But there's definitely been some basal in my system today, though maybe not as much as normal - had to do a correction this afternoon as my levels were gently drifting up..... So maybe you're right, I certainly hope so. I can certainly believe that humalog might have caused a hypo then, just not that it would have caused such an extreme one. Very very confusing. [/QUOTE]
