[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1630236, member: 32394"] If your newly diagnosed and normally running high it's normal to get hypo symptoms at normal levels. This is called a false hypo, you body is so used to running high that it wrongly think the normal levels are hypo. You did well to treat it. I know on my first day of using insulin I nearly passed out into my wheatabix and couldn't even manage to open the shiny new packet of dextrose tablets to treat it - my mum had to open them and feed me. But my blood sugar was actually 9, so definitely not hypo, it was just I'd previously been sitting over 30 for a few weeks/months so it took a while to get used to being at normal levels. [/QUOTE]
