[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 478834, member: 11028"] I think we all at some time have had a hypo from hell and had the high bg many hours after. Looking at your post it's quite clear what caused the hypo as you say you took too much insulin for the chocolate bar: ''I had a bar of chocolate at about 4:30pm and injected 5units (probably a bit more than necc, but I was going out for an early dinner later and thought that would pick it back up again)'' I would just put it down to a bad experience and try and learn from it, your better to give a little less insulin than a little more when your unsure of the carb content of food, also 2 hours after injecting (4.30pm-6.30pm) is a little too late to pick things up as most QA insulins peak before that time.. Hope your feeling better soon and bg is back to normal tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
