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
Just wanted to check in and see how you are going? I'm moderating until 7am so you can always chat here or email me.
Have your bgls stabilised now? Pls do call an ambulance 000 if you continue to feel ill.
Kind regards,
Frog

Thank you dear @Former-Member, my bgl after more milo has finally increased to 9.7bgl at @12.am...
I think after several hours from tea time, my bgl's are stabilising now. Will keep an eye on them ..
Better to ride high than low.
Thank you once again for helping me dear lovely frog, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, and dear lovely @MRIS.

I'm glad you've been able to get your bgl up again.
I'm also glad that your hypo is now officially over with that bgl reading!
BUT don't let that stop you from staying and chatting with us anyway.

Dear frog @Former-Member, I think I'm out of the woods. Just resting on my bed and watching bgl closely. It's still fluctuating a little more than usual but that can be expected. Seeing my lovely Christian Doctor tomorrow. I have good rapport with him. He will help me.
Thanks for being so suppotive dear frog. I feel like Cookie Monster haha. Another cookie for the road.

Hey thanks dear @Sans911, for caring about me. I'm okay now, Praise God. The insulin was not much but I'd had an increase in insulin recently, so was not good. The short acting insulin took until 12am last night to get out of my system. I spoke to 13Health nurse and Doctor rang me back. He advised me not to take bedtime insulin. I've just spoken to a Diabetic educator with 13 health.
Thank you all for being so good and supportive. I just need to rest and sleep now, just very tired.

Hey dear cherished@MRIS,
It was very good of you to give such wise and earnest counsel. I really appreciate it. I'm out of the woods now.
Yes, those photos of dear cookie Monster are for you. I thought you'd like them.' Here's a photo of 'Kath and Kim'....I love to watch that show. It's so funny.
Your dear friend,
