There can be a few theories behind this...

1) What insulins are you on? Are you on a mixed or on Lantus and something else? If you are on a mixed, it may be you aren't eating enough to cover the short acting. If you are on two seperate insulins, it may be your long acting is too much.

2) Hypos follow hypos. A rule of thumb is when you have a hypo you are more sensitive to insulin, not sure why that is, but you will have another hypo within 48 hours and sometimes even another one after that, so 3 hypos and then you will be fine.

3) It could be you are honeymooning again and your body created a few more insulin producing cells and that's pumping more insulin into you now.

As for which of the above are true for you, I can't really say.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
