Thanks for replying guys! Yeah it's the the fear of it and feeling so horrendous. I suppose if in honest I'm 30yr old single girl and thinking I'm not going to be able to go out and end up sitting in the house on my own! My friends are big party people not every week but when they do they don't do a half job and not going to be able to go out and I'm lonely enough as it is! Sport and exercise wise I've been avoiding cos every time I do I hypo after as well. Even leaving work at lunchtime I worry and think about it cos happened at lunchtime out on my own and panicked. I don't want it to make me a recluse! I'm prob over thinking and over worrying about all of this but I'm a worrier anyway as it is! I will do the snacks and before bed snack too and read up on the medication I'm probably over worrying but finding it hard not to!
Thanks mike! Very much appreciated!Sending my VERY best from downunder to youAppreciate what you're going thru and wishing you well.. Take care. My best

Your post takes me back to before I was diagnosed when those anxiety feelings really put me in a bad place, crying, a little bit of depression etc. always hungry, angry and so on, no life as such!!Thanks for replying guys!

I think you're probably right as it was up to 5.3 pre lunch and I rarely go below 6.0 after eating - although I have been known to drop into the 4s some afternoons.Anything over 4.00 is not considered to be a hypo. It was probably what is known as a false hypo. It could also be that your body is not use to low levels.
I have to limit myself to no spikes and that mmeans no hypos.I think you're probably right as it was up to 5.3 pre lunch and I rarely go below 6.0 after eating - although I have been known to drop into the 4s some afternoons.

Just had another thought - I think most of us have, by now, encountered the NHS dietary guidance suggesting carbs-with-everything.
And I have to warn you, even consultants treating RH have been known to suggest many small carby snacks throughout the day. You may find that is suggested to you, when you get your appointment.
Now, heaven forbid I should suggest you go against your consultant's advice!
So, if you get pro-carb advice from your consultant, try it, but if it doesn't help massively, then pop back here and see if the Low Carb thing works better for you.
It does for us.
We've had a couple of hiccups (okay, a lot of hiccups) getting the blog stuff ready, but it's all still in the working, along with many other features including the RH stuff. Hoping to have this ready as I will be in Reykjavik soon so the roll-out of any new features will be out of my hands
Yes there are many accounts of T2s who do go hypo after exercise but gradually it returns without any food or drink return to normal readings.Hi all,
As a T2, diet controlled, I have found this section very interesting.
I have had hypos, particularly when working or walking some 2 hours plus after meals.
In my case the solution is quite simple:
Cut down on carbs, so that my blood sugar does not spike.
And, because my stomach seems to process carbs very fast because I peak c.45mins after starting eating carbs, I get up and walk around or go for a walk/stay vertical/work for 1 hour plus immediately after a meal (whereupon my blood sugar stabilises).
My problem is, I believe, insulin hysteresis response. eg.Insulin fails to drop when blood sugar drops as it also fails to increase immediately when the blood sugar increases after eating.
Of course there could also be problems with my glycogen response but I prefer the simple explanation in lieu the necessary comprehensive blood tests.

@Brunneria There is a interesting TV programme tonight when hypoglycemia gets involved not to sure what it is all about,however might be interesting:
Today on BBC1 London from 8:30pm to 9:00pm
BBC1 London
Panorama investigates whether an innocent man is in prison wrongly convicted as a serial killer. Scots nurse Colin Norris, dubbed the Angel of Death, is serving a minimum of 30 years in prison for the murder of four elderly patients and the attempted murder of a fifth. It was a case that captivated the nation. Reporter Mark Daly reveals new evidence that casts serious doubt on his convictions, and could pave the way for him to be set free. Drawing on new scientific research the programme critically examines the main components of the case against Norris, and asks whether the alleged victims actually died from natural causes. Is this the first case in British history of a wrongfully convicted serial killer?
