sick with hypos

[BambiFawn]

Just staying up with owls tonight to ride through low bgl's.  I called 13 Health, who advised me to go to Emergency if bgl below 3 bgl or 4.2bgl reading.  Advised by Dr not to take insulin at bedtime. 

I think I'll be alright.

HI @BambiFawn
did they suggest having something else to eat? glad you got good advice from Health line.

Thank u so much for caring dear lovely @Former-Member.  I've accidentally taken too much insulin by mistake. I'm eating more but still low and now drinking milo which has a lot of sugar in it.  

Hugs and rainbows.

thats good, and the extra insulin explains it so it will get better over a few hours probably. Great excuse for having a milo too 😄 😄 @BambiFawn

@Former-Member, I don't think I should sleep tonight dear lovely lisajane as I may go unconscious.  I'll drink milo all night i think.  

Up with the night owls.

Ya thanks for being so caring and kind dear @Former-Member. I am grateful for your caring way and support.  It is an aesome forum here.

Up with the owls tonight...

yeah, until its stable again probably a good idea to stay awake. My lil boy used to get l bgls (not diabetic related) the first time he just wouldnt wake up in the morning and by the time the drs realised he was very very low and they were all scared. but hes grown out of them and never really got to the bottom of why they happened.

Just relaxing in front of telly.  After cup of milo my bgl has normalised, but I need to keep an eye on levels as could dive back down low again. I'm hoping levels will stabilise, but cannot be sure. 

I'm pleased your little boy grew out of his readings.  

Thanks for your caring way and support dear lovely @Former-Member.  This is an awesome forum.  I have no family support, and I'm on my own this evenin', so I really appreciate your wise counsel.  But please don't stay up on my account, you need your sleep.  The Doctor did ask if i could call a friend. Maybe I could, but they'll be asleep. Just praying about it will help me.  But if bgl's start going down more and more again, I will have to call the Ambulance.

I have faith that I'll be alright.

@Former-Member, 

Hopefully you will get this message in a respectable hourin the morning.

My bgl's are going lower and lower again. I will keep taking milo.

Depending on how much extra insulin you had, eating some carbohydrates in the form of bread might be helpful.

How do you feel about having some toast with jam?
