Had another one. 3.2 at 4pm. No exercise or housework so far today so can’t use that as an excuse. And I had a nap! Almost exactly the same to eat as yesterday, - maybe 2g more carbs at lunch today and a bit more protein.
I noticed I was very cold both times. I’m pretty sure the being cold came before the hypo. Does that sound right?? It isn’t listed as a symptom to watch out for.
Hi SilverK, you're doing well but if you find yourself going low often or having to continually eat carbs to keep your levels up then there is probably an issue with your insulin (too much). Are you a newbie? Make sure you have access via phone to your team and tell them what's going on, they will help you adjust your insulin accordingly. It takes time because they (and you) are just trying to establish the correct dosage pertaining to your normal food. If your normal food is low carb then tell them and they should help you adjust. It can take weeks & months before you get into your own routine and become confident about eating what you want and making your own adjustments. To begin with it's difficult to know exactly how much insulin you might need or how YOU might react so it's very much trial and error based on a fairly (!) educated guess. Yes, being cold can be a symptom as can just about anything else, we share some common symptoms but not others. Again you will come to know your own alerts. x
