[QUOTE="jopar, post: 116408, member: 11712"] Hi Gayle Thats brillient indeed, well done Niamh I remember my reaction to my first injection, It was a case of you've got to be joking I'm not a nurse! I was in my mid 20's at the time :D Even though strickly speaking 4.9mmol/ml isn't a hypo, your daughter had what is termed a phamtom hypo, this is where the blood glucose has been running higher than normal, and with the drop the body says hypo, sometimes you get the same effect if you have a sudden drop of blood glucose levels as well.. You did right by treating as an hypo this is what your DN would have told you to do. Sometimes I can get the shakey feeling and my levels are alright, so I will have a carb free snack, bit of meet or chunck of cheese to sort it.. It is very good that she not only had these symptons as it shows she has some hypo awareness, which in young children isn't always there until they are a bit older... And it's even better that she actually said how she was feeling if she keeps this up then she be able to avoid a lot of strife concerning hypos.. Good phrase for her to learn, if in doubt take a BG..
