[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 405280, member: 40343"] Gezza can't really advise on that except to reiterate if you are worried about it go ask the doc. It sounds from my totally unprofessional opinion that you might be suffering from some form of reactive hypoglycaemia which may be related to the resolved db or not. Only a doctor can really tell you. Like I said I don't believe for one moment that your symptoms aren't real and from the odd personal experience the effects can be very unpleasant. To be honest I don't particularly care if you want to call them hypo's or not. In reality the common word people would use would be hypo. In the environment of posting on a diabetes self help forum where there is a mixture of insulin and non insulin using diabetics I just think its sensible to make the distinction between hypo's caused by an effective overdose of insulin that can and occasionally do lead to brain damage, coma and death and "hypos" that the rest of us can suffer (diabetic, diabetic resolved or non diabetics) which a) can occur over a wide range of BG's and b) would normally resolve themselves through a natural liver dumps glucose response when although you may feel some unpleasantness your body should resolve the issue in the end without intervention. Of course if you start to experience the "unpleasantness" there's nothing wrong with helping your body recover by eating a few carbs in some form or other. Not to do so would be silly. I suppose to sum up we who can and do suffer from "low blood sugar" episodes and call them hypo's need to have a bit of humility and recognise the stress and potential life threatening danger of an insulin induced hypo in our insulin using friends.
