I wasn't feeling very well either.  Of course I am used to recently running double figures.What seems to happen is at 2 hrs I am high but in the follwing 2 hrs it drops like a rock.The DN explained hypos to me and gave me a leaflet, I followed her advice to carry my meter at all times and test if I feel "different", she said if at 4 or below take action with glucotabs follwed by starchy snack or meal.  She also said test before driving and never drive below 5.Is this rapid drop okay?  I am a bit worried if I don't have enough carb i'll get hypos but on other hand I know if I eat a lot of carb I run high to start with.Can anyone advise me please?Thanks Chris</blockquote>
