So sorry you had a hypo. :-(
In this situation I would ask myself
- was the 11 mmol/L high reading contaminated?
- was 2u too much for just eggs (it would be for me)?
- is my correction ratio changing (needing less)?
I agree 20 min is very fast for that drop, so I would suspect that the high test was contaminated.
Yes that amount of insulin would normally be too much for 2 eggs but the rules have changed since dropping the carbs. ...I had to take an educated guesstimate on the dose based on whats been happening last few days....Oh im going to need to look up more on this..great responses guys but id thought that the Atkins version I was doing was low carb high fat and protein...how do u make it the LCHF you are talking about? Silly question maybe but I think at this stage I need it spelt out to me

My hands were washed before test so no contamination. ...my guess is that my body is adjusting to being without carbs and slowly changing how it responds....could I have become far more insulin sensitive pre meal for that injection? Have remained at constant 11 now and just had lunch. Having taken insulin pre meal. ....lets see what happens now...but no addition of metformin as starting on 1 tablet a day. Maybe I should take it at dinner and not breakfast with the smallest amount of food in the day and the confusion as to what is and isnt happening over night and there will be nothing consumed over night...??
