I think I've had a hypo. Although the NHS diabetes Nurse recons Type 2's cannot get hypos.
I say think, as I had a bit of an episode this afternoon when I came over all funny, felt as if I'd hadn't eaten for several days, really light headed, legs went all jelly. Grabbed the finger prick tester and it was 4.1. Had some sugar in the form of drumstick squashies (80g of sugar per 100g) and felt much better a little while after. The squashies are the kids not mine I hasten to add and they only have them on the rare occasion.
interestingly enough, I don't regularly finger prick test myself regularly, I did a two week stint 3 times a day when first diagnosed to see what was going on and my sugar levels ranged from 4.0 to 9.0. I never felt like I did today though when I want down to 4.0 before. However, I do feel quite rough when I have had too much sugar.
