Feeling hungover!!

Dear all,
Having miscalculated my QI last night following chips and a battered sausage from the local chippy, I went to bed with hi levels and woke up with hi levels - See last 2 days readings attached. 19 before bed, +2 correction (obv not enough), 14 on waking up (+3 correction) and then about 6.8 ish all day.

Today, I feel like I've had a hangover all day and felt really tired. Now, at only 6.30pm, I'm considering going to bed as I still feel the same and am even bumping into things, walking in zig zag lines etc! No, no alcohol sinse Saturday night and even then only a small amount.

I'm not ill in anyway.

Is this a normal feeling after having been so high?

Many thanks for any thoughts you may have.

Drunk behaviour I've more experienced during a hypo, rather than linked with highs... I usually find I don't sleep properly when I'm high over night... so maybe your behaviour is due to you being more tired than you realise? Excessive tiredness is usually what my response is.

I hope you're feeling at least a little bit better now. Besides the highs either side of the night, your levels are great! ;D Keep up the good work!

Thanks JWo, you're right, I suppose its more the tiredness that is making me feel "hungover".
Thanks for the comment on my levels... I hate it when one miscalcuation throws my averages out of kilter... I end up feeling like I've been naughty!! lol!

Awww I get cha! Try not to think that way, you're doing good - life will throw you a curve ball sometimes and those times can be hard to arrange for! A few highs here and there is harmless so well done! ^_^

Hi, when my BG is high I feel really rough, furry mouth, foamy tongue, sickly, thirsty so I guess its kind of like a hangover, without the fun the night before. Only other comment I would make is that your 2u corrective dose seems low. On the basis that 1 ratio (so 1 unit if you're on 1:1) will bring your BG down by roughly 3, I would have done 4u to bring it down by 12 to 7. JWo is right, the odd high won't do too much harm, we all get them! bw Linzi

I would of taken 14 units to correct that 19.8, even before my bed................

Thanks Redstellaartois, you're right, my correction dose was much lower than it should have been but as I was going to bed and can sleep through a hurrican or earthquakes, (having slept through both before) I correct less than I should at bed time in case of a night time hypo. Ive only just started to do corrections at bed time so am taking it carefully!! Not that I've ever had one, I'm convinced I won't wake up if I do!

Novorapidboi26, you must be on a higher ratio than my 1:1.... Good that you are confident enough to correct properly before bed.... As before, Ive only just started to do correct at bed time so am taking it carefully!!

Thanks everyone... not been this high sinse I posted this, thankfully!! I love this web site!

I always always feel hungover after a hypo.... never after a high.
In fact I'm knackered and " can't be arsed" when high.

Your corrections will very much depend on you. Mine thankfully are 1:1 at the moment but during a spell in hospital they increased slightly.
It will very much depend on time, type of day, stress, life....... the list can go on but what you need to do is find what you are both confident and comfortable with.
DAFNE is very much trial and error until you get to this point.
Any doubts see your DAFNE Educator.
