"Yes, this is one of the joys of overnight hypos. For those who haven't had the joy of suffering one it's like a really really bad hangover (and probably for the same reason - dangerously low blood sugar.) I've only had one occasion…"

Kelly WPA replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Today is a much better day today, thanks!"
MossDog replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Well I hope the blood sugars are running a little smoother today!"
Trudy replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Hi Cynthia. I'm really glad that you went to the ER, and that all is well. For what it's worth, I really like my One Touch Ultra 2, and always keep two One Touches on hand (actually 3, I also have a Mini One Touch for hiking, etc.). Best…"
Kelly WPA replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Someone else on TuD originally posted the link and I can't remember who to give the credit to! My personal theory on the wider range over 400 is that the higher the number, the bigger that 20% spread gets. Fortunately, I don't spend too…"
MossDog replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Good link Kelly! If you look at the scatter plots you can see almost all the meters have a pretty wide variation at a blood glucose >400 mg/dl.
Interestingly all the major players in the meter market have some of the cleanest scatter plots…"
Kelly WPA replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"I am glad that everything worked out OK! I had a bad low last summer and thought that I had a stroke also. My doctor said that it was the lack of glucose to my brain for so long, but it is always better to get things checked out and know for…"
Donna H replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"I've had the same experience as Moss Dog -- on the really high numbers, there just seems to be a huge meter fluctuation. In fact, I think that's why some meters just say HI when you get over a certain number. But when you are up that high,…"
MossDog replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"Glad to hear everything was ok. Better safe than sorry :-)
Up in the 400's I have not found a single meter that will read consistently. Even using the same one over and over I will get 400-480 mg/dl from one test to another. When I drive…"
Cynthia D replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"UPDATE
Hello All,
Thank you so much for your support. I took your advice and went to ER last night for extensive testing. The good news is no brain events occurred (they couldn't find one). However, BG was 450 but that usually doesn't…"
Luka replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"It is a stress for your organism in general. If this condition keeps going on further, it would be wise to see a doctor. However, it wouldn't also be weird to call your endocrinologist on the phone and ask him/her, if possible."
bsc replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"As others have said, while a harsh low will leave you feeling sick, the symptoms you describe are generally outside the normal symptoms. And you actually don't know whether you went low, you just know that you awoke with a headache and feeling…"
xring replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"I had a low last year (57, which is VERY low for me). I corrected it immediately but I felt sick the whole rest of the day - very weak & tired. Other lows I've had around 70-80 don't affect me after correcting. A severe low does take…"
latvianchick replied to Cynthia D's discussion 'One severe hypo event creating all day side effects?'"I think you should get to the emergency room. You might have actually suffered a trans ichseiamatic episode (or mini stroke) and it would be best to check it out. I have had some severe hypos and have not suffered symptoms such as you describe so it…"

If you'd like to add some kind of picture to be your profile photo, look for the "Settings" link in the upper right portion of each page (next to the little silver gears). The very first option in Settings will walk you through changing your profile image. Good luck!
