[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 182764, member: 17199"] Hi, have you considered using a half unit pen? maybe this would help a little as you could have small corrections and not risk going low but still managing to bring it down a little? By all means go get tested again, for peace of mind. if you can rule out anaemia then you can concentrate on improving your diabetes. There's a recent post about coffee and someone emailed a company that dispenses coffee and the reply said there was a small amount of carbs even without added sugar. I'm not sure that caffeine would trigger the body to release glucose but i'm no expert :) so maybe someone else can fill you in on that one. Exercise can affect you after you have stopped so maybe that was the cause for your hypo, even though you had no insulin with lunch. Have you spoken to your specialist about this? i know this forum is great because experience is often better than textbook facts i think. But maybe he/she could suggest something to help you :) [/QUOTE]
