[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2108207, member: 401801"] Sounds like a severe hypo. From your profile I can't tell what your meds are, but you really might want to change things around a little. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a big diet advocate. But even if I wasn't, there's two things that worry me: You were at a chip shop. That's practically all high carb content, stuff that'll make you spike, for which you need medication that can make you go hypo. And you [I]went [/I]severely hypo.... Then you're over-medicating, I'm guessing, because that doesn't happen out of nowhere. I'm not saying you absolutely have to follow in my keto footsteps, but maybe a little less carbs would also mean a reduction in the medication that makes you hypo now? Less spikes, fewer meds, no dips, you know? Do you have a diabetes team, someone who can come up with dietary advice (that doesn't suck)? Pople who can guide you in this? In any case, it sounds horribly scary, and I hope you're feeling better now. Fingers crossed it never ever happens again! Hugs, Jo PS: just in case...
