   HYpoglycemia ? (Diabetes board)

29th October 2005
I have had a interesting event happen the last two nights. Last night I ate a pretty heavy meal. Low carb, but heavy. I was going to bed at 11pm when my wife asked me if I checked my blood surgar. I said, "not after that meal!" But I checked it and it was 51. I about flipped. Didn't feel abnormal at all.

This evening I checked it at 5pm and it was 43. I had no feelings at all of it being low. I called Accucheck and was on hold for about an half of hour. My checking solutions were 1 month out of date. I went ahead and checked them and they were fine, but as I said, they were 1 month out of date so I didn't know if I was getting a correct reading or not.

I drank some milk and after 25 minutes someone answered. I was told that people that have had diabetes for a long time (10 years for me) often to not have hypo reactions. I take an oral pill. About 1.5 weeks ago I went to a geneic for Amaryl (sp). Could someone comment on this? Is all of this possible not to know you are in hypoglycmeia and not know it.

What about bedtime. As I stated it was 51 last night and I ate a teaspoon of peanut butter and some cererly (sp). Would sure like a response. Thanks - sam
