This is all very odd.
I tested before breakfast at 9.45AM this morning and got 4.3 mmol which is normal I think. I was scared it might be too low again!
Then I ate breakfast at 10AM and tested every 10 minutes looking for a sudden drop that might indicate reactive hypoglycaemia.
The readings were:
10.10AM - 8.7
10.20AM - 8.4
10.30AM - 9.0
10.40AM - 8.8
10.50AM - 7.9
11.00AM - 8.2
So there was no "reactive hypoglycaemia" in the first hour, but perhaps I would have found it had I continued this for several hours. I've noticed once it gets between 8 - 9 mmol I feel quite unwell, hot and shaky (I'm normally cold). Sadly I've now used up all the test strips and can't afford to keep doing these experiments on myself!
My GP did not consider (or test) my blood sugar when he sent me to A&E.
