Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicole22" data-source="post: 2305116" data-attributes="member: 526922">Hello , so I was wondering if anyone could guide me on what I need too do as something very much scared me last night. I took my semglee 24 hour insulin as I do every night at 10pm, I’ve reduced by 4 units due too my sugars dropping lower than I wanted before meals. This rectified the problem and I’ve been pretty confident since. Well I have been eating badly due to breaking my foot and not exactly wanting too stand and cook. But checked my sugars at 9.00pm and it was 5.3 which is actually slightly higher than my usual 4.2-4.7 so I didn’t have my typical snack. I took my insulin at 22.00 and at half past I started feeling very odd , sick confused sweaty head hurt and like my body wasn’t actually my body for a moment and I checked my sugars. They were 1.8mmols !!! I was terrified and instantly started too eat fast acting carbs. I ate a mars bar and 1 multipack snicker bars. This bought it too 3.1 and so I had another snickers and ate a white bun with sandwich meat. This bought my sugars too 6. I woke up at 5.30am and my sugars were 4.4 this is normal for me but I was scared so I had a digestive biscuit. Shall I be scared or was this just a blip? Do I mention it too my doctor. I’m newly diagnosed (may2020) and due too covid I haven’t been reviewed since. If I’ve had lows before they’ve always been because I waited way too long too eat. And they never have been below the 3.4 upon noticing and never dropped below 3.1 ( I misjudged my carbs too correct it and had a rich tea and thought it would help).</blockquote>
