[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 647780, member: 88961"] When your numbers are coming down; especially when they're lowering quite a bit, as yours are, your body fights to try to keep it's levels where it has been comfortable for some time - thus the hypo-style symptoms. On the odd time I have had such an experience, or when my numbers really are too low, for me, if food is imminent, I just make myself wait for food, but if food is some way off, I'll generally have a cup of tea, with a little milk. That just nudges the bloods a little and helps your body calm down a bit, until it can be fed at the scheduled time. Everyone is different, but what I really didn't want to do is have something ultra carby, to boost my bloods, only to be really undoing the good work I had been doing. It is important you test when you feel like this though, because being on Gliclazide it is possible you could be having a true hypo, which could require a different approach. [/QUOTE]
