Aw @SueJB - sending a big welsh cwtch your way. I’d second what the others said; correct conservatively and when you’re stable pop one or two dextrose tabs to see exactly how much they raise you by. Then you can dose for a low in much the same way as you dose for a high. And keep the treats for when you’re compus mentos enough to really enjoy them and inject the right amount for them. Unfortunately bodies don’t work in straight lines
 
Could I ask if anyone felt a bit funky when they started taking Fiasp? For the last few days I’ve felt more tired than usual, my heart is racing from time to time and extreme headaches that are on and off. It’s definitely not a hypo.
I left a message for my dsn and I don’t know if my GP will brush me off if I were to see him or her tomorrow.
 
Thanks @helensaramay 1 fruit pastille makes Madam rise by 1.5 but I just thought "sod it" I'll go lush and steal one of Mr B's biscuits, actually I stole 2!! Peaked at 16.6 so stuck in some Novo and should get down to 7. It's the yoyo that's a head shaker
 
Thanks @MeiChanski I know that Glucotabs don't do the rise as quickly as fruit pastilles and don't raise it as much.
I gluco =.5mmol rise
1 fruit pastille1.5mmol
As I said to @helensaramay I wasn't just treating the hypo but being a piglet too

You could try small cartons of orange juice (no bits) or 200-250ml of coke, if tabs are a bit slow. I know hypos sometimes makes me look like I haven’t eaten anything for about a week and stuff my face without regrets. I do like fruit pastilles, not the lemon and lime ones.
 
@Mel dCP had to Google "cwtch" and it said it was a hut so if your sending me one, I hope I'm in to sign for it when it arrives. I should stick with the tabs and the pastilles rather than giving myself a treat. It is after all a demon condition
 
It’s hard not to be a piglet when your brain is in panic mode. That’s one big difference (trying hard not to sound too evangelical) I’ve found with my keto diet - while I still get the physical symptoms of low blood sugar, my brain can think clearly through it and not panic, because it’s not low on fuel as it’s running on ketones instead of glucose. Makes it much easier to treat calmly and clinically.
 

Ohhh my hope urvok.
 
I know my sane self says do the tabs or the pastilles but my devil on the other shoulder says M&S. I know they're not appropriate but I'm sure there are guys here who eat Oreos

It’s a hug+++, not a hut!
 
Don't like orange juice and I now only by packets of the raspberry and blackcurrant pastilles............... well they're red and black!!
 
Hey guys. Saw my gp yesterday as a general follow up from my discharge few days ago. He was concerned about how I’m type 1 diagnosed at 41 when he said should been much younger. So he’s sending me for X-ray on my Pancras to see how well it’s functioning. He reckons my pneumonia I had might caused my Pancras to slow down. So not sure if I’m needing insulin or not. Will let u know once X-ray date is set.
