Hi Sueellen,
Feeling low is very frightening as you don't know how much worse it can get. Having the juice is a good thing but I would have a piece of fruit or bread. A bit slower to work but keeps the level up. (with juice it can go up quickly and drop quickly)
4.1 and 4.3 are not really low but when you have been a lot higher your body tells you they are low and you get all the symptoms. As your body gets used to lower blood sugars your lows will be lower.
I ran on bsl's of around 10 to whatever and anything under 6 would give me that hypo feeling. Now that I'm looking after the diabetes and my bsl's are rarely over 10 my lows kick in under 4
How much novorapid are you taking ? and what do you eat at lunch time ? Also when do you next call the diabetic nurse.
I often find my blood sugars go lower in the afternoon depending on what I eat at lunch.
If I'm not eating a lot of bread or friut I will cut back my lunch time insulin by a couple of units.I would also ring your diabetic nurse and see what she suggests
Take care from Alicat61
