[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1049182, member: 220230"] Hi all, hope you don't mind me picking your brains please? I'm having a challenging day today! I woke with an all time high for me of 6.5, but felt fine so had my usual breakfast. 2 hours later I was 6.2 and still feeling good so I carried on with the housework and ate my small Apple (usual morning snack for me) at 10.45am, a little later than normal. At midday I was feeling very tired and not particularly with it and, as I was due to drive at 12.10 to pick my little one up from pre-school I checked my bg, it was 5! Now I know this isn't even close to a hypo but I wasn't feeling like it would be safe to drive and needed something to raise me up a few points fairly quickly, without dropping me again whilst out. In a slight panic I ate half a small banana and a couple of nuts. I was 5.2 just before I had to leave. Unfortunately my miss timed "episode" mean't I was 7 before eating lunch, so I had a salad with salmon. An hour later I'm 6.9 and feeling tired still. What would you recommend I eat in that instance? Ideally I like to nearer 6 when driving. Would you eat again now, in case a drop is imminent? What would you suggest? Thanks for your help x [/QUOTE]
