Hiiiiii,
Here's a mind boggler...
Yesterday at 5.30pm tea time my BG was 4.9... my ratio is 3:1 .. ate 4Cp's so had 12 units.. Great? nope. i should have allowed a little as i was a bit on the low side. (i aim to be in the 5's as this is where i feel comfortable)
went to bingo (i won by the way haha) and checked my BG's just before we started (don't want to hypo all over the place and have a room FULL of people why im wandering off)
BG's = 4.2 (thats when it dawned on me when i checked my diary i hadn't allowed a couple of units less for my tea time BG! ****!)
silly me...
anywayyyy.. as thats very almost hypo territory and i wouldnt be home for a while i have a bag of crisps... 1.7g or carb... so if i work to the theory that 1cp pushes your BG's up by 3mmol i should have been around 7... maybe 8. which is fine by me at the mo.
BUT an an hour later hypo hits. what the chuff? i thought okay maybe my crisps haven't started to get into my system i should have had some fast acting sugary stuff to help too... (treated this with glucotabs and a small choccie bar 1.5gcarb to keep me going) so again i should have gone up to at least 8
but i checked hourly from 8pm-11pm to observe and my sugar NEVER peaked. it didn't go above 6...
I'm well aware of honeymooning.. i've had diabetes for about 19 months now... but i've only recently say over the past 4 months actually started to gain control and took my insulin properly.
sop my Question is.....is it possible now i have good control my body is having a delayed honeymoon?
I know it's hot right now but my ratio's and background insulin have dropped too apart from teatime as apart from yesterday it was competely fine!
AND it wasn't even that hot here where i live...
I've been haing frequent hypo's lately and i'm currently re-adjusting to avoid these but i keep bouncing back into hypo's even though i usually have either 6 glucotabs and some slow acting carb depending on how far off a meal is... or around 250ml's of lucozade and slow acting carb..
and i recently had my DAFNE review and my DN is happy with my progress and improved HBA1c but she said she's worried about these hypo's because she doesn't want me to lose any of my hypo awareness if my body gets too used to being low... :cry:
