Type 1 Need help asab

[Dian Fourie]

I was on 17.0 mmol/L (306 mg/dl) then dropped very fast to 8.0 mmol/L (145 mg/dl) then 5 minutes later I was on 4.0 mmol/L (72 mg/dl) and lower for 3 hours.
I’m currently on 8.3 mmol/L (150 mg/dl), but I still feel very low.
What should I do???

Hi @Dian Fourie , have you retested your blood glucose after washing your hands?
If you're sure you're around 8 now, you should be fine from a diabetes point of view, however a steep drop like that and a prolonged hypo can give you something like a bad hangover.

Do you know what caused the drop?

Did you treat the hypo right away? I'm a bit confused because you say you were low for 3 hours, did you treat and did it not work or didn't you treat?

How are you now?
