Thankyou everyone, today has been a bit better though I've still been running my pump at .25units hour for much of the day. I did at least reach 90 after dinner and the lowest was 58
I' m not exercising more than I did last year (perhaps a bit more than recently during winter).I was running up to 40 miles a week at one time, the difference was I was eating a regular amount of carbs at meal times supplemented if necessary for running.
I actually don't want to low carb as I don't seem to have any reason to.
I couldn't easily eat more protein at my parents (that would seem just as greedy!) and to be honest long term I would be worried about the possibility of kidney problems. I was simply trying to be less rigid, and was surprised to find I seemed to have run out of fuel. At home I tend to eat a fairly pattern of meals with 40 carbs for breakfast,50-60 for lunch and 60-70 in the evenings. (really just an adaptation of the plan given to me when I left hospital which was about 50, 70, 70,).When I've varied my carb intake its been upwards for eating out and my bolus additions have always worked. I hadn't really realised that the opposite might be problematic.
Sadly, I remember my last croissant very well. I ate it in a cafe, just after a fasting blood test. When I got home my doctor called me 'go straight to the hospital, now!. I haven't had a croissant since then. They don't make very good ones in Bournemouth where my parents live anyway
