Hopefully someone will have some answers for you on here soon but that must have been scary to say the least!!! :shock:
I've never had a hypo but i imagine it feels bloody awful and frightening!!!
Hope you're feeling better now! :wink:

Riodad... your profile says you are type II insulin managed... can I ask was this breakfast much lower in carbohydrate than usual? and if so did you adjust down the amount of Novorapid you injected to cover it?

A rapid insulin like Novorapid will cover a certain amount of carbohydrate per unit you inject... this is known as your insulin ratio.. If you decrease the amount of carbohydrate that you eat then you will also need to decrease the amount of Novorapid that you inject.
 
i did not reduce my nova rapid it never entered my mind to do so . and yes it was less carbs than normal .You guys have sorted me out again
