[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2413871, member: 527103"] I wonder whether the "crash" you felt was a false hypo - the symptoms sound similar. A hypo is a low blood sugar incident. This occurs when our blood sugars go under 4.0. However, our bodies are amazing pieces of machinery that can adapt. When we have undiagnosed diabetes, our blood sugars slowly rise and our bodies adapt to the higher levels. When we start treating our diabetes, our levels come down. Unfortunately, our bodies are not used to the lower levels and think there is something wrong - it reacts as if we are having a hypo. Whilst this is distressing at the time, it is not as bad as it feels - we need to familiarise our bodies to the lower levels so it doesn't react this way. [/QUOTE]
