Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Good morning. Think I had my first ever Hypo last night. Woke up at 2AM feeling ill, staggered downstairs and collapsed on the hall floor. My son tried to check on me, and when I didn't respond he got HID who woke me up and gave me a kitkat. My BG was 4.1 immediately after.

Just taken another reading and it was 6.1.

Hope you're OK there, fella.

@britishpub is your meds too strong for you now?
You do fantastic on lchf.
Hypos are as sign of your insulin resistance improving hopefully?
Well done for getting out of bed to fix your hypo. I know it's a fight to do when not well. You did good. :-)

Oh no! I hope you're ok now. That must have been frightening. Can't remember, are you on insulin?
 
@GeoffersTaylor @ickihun @KimG

Thanks for your concern. I think it scared my son more than me, seeing his father flat on the floor eyes wide open not responding. HID gave me one of those white chocolate kitkats, which is about the sweetest most disgusting thing possible, but it did the trick even if my FBG this morning was up.
 
7.1 this morning. Had breakfast as usual. 2 hours later had bad hypo. Bg was 3.7! That's very low for me. Sorted it out. Feeling better now, hope everyone's ok
 
Nasty cold on top of low carb flu.
Fbg 5.3 this morning.
Might take 2 ibuprofen and try and return to bed. Kids coughing and spluttering too. Great!
The 8yr old will be nagging to stay off school. Thank god daddy hasn't man flu and has already agreed to do school run this very windy Monday. Phew! :-)
