Hi guys I hope this is allowed, Im not Diabetic but my partner is, and has been for many years he is 51 now, Diabetic scares me or at least his dose I will give an example on to nights events, never turned up tonight I tried to contact him etc about 10 pm he called me and asked when he had last spoke to me, he was here at tea time, he couldn't remember what had happened but had been a sleep I told him to go check bloods, eat and call me back, he remembers very little about early part of evening was a wear of his phone ringing but its as if it just doesn't register, when he did get up he looked out the window and traffic was like in slow motion, bloods were down to 2.3 he then had can of coke, coffee with 3 sugars, pork pie, 5 fruit pastels and was then able to do his evening meal, he said his sugar will be high in the morning.
His levels seem to be so up and down and he is not always a wear of this and has to check his bloods many times during the day and evening, he has active job and is workaholic, he eats breakfast, lunch and meal, many snacks and drinks but it seems impossible to keep his levels at anywhere near normal, he also has many allergies which makes it even harder such as yeast there fore can only eat soda bread, im trying to learn as much as I can to maybe help improve his diet, we don't live together but we do have some meals together.
 
Hi @aw64. Sounds like he rather over treated the hypo...so yes he probably will be high in the morning...but sounds like it was also a bit of panic eating...which is so easy to do when hypo.
I will tag @daisy1 who provides some excellent information which you might both find useful.
