Hypoing at 5.1 is a situation that endocrinologist has described as novorapid hanging around. What happens is my novorapid hangs around in my body and every three hours I have a dump of insulin in 5 minutes(ranging from enough for 2 g of carbs to 30g carbs) The novorapid not hanging around doesn’t send me into a hypo until I eat food but I have hypo symptoms of insomnia and dizziness/ inability to think) I have the hypoing at 5.1 thing 2 hours after breakfast, 4 hours after breakfast, 2 hours after lunch, 4 hours after lunch and 2 1/2 hours after dinner.
It was particularly bad when I was pregnant as I had these drops twice a night and could not sleep. When I had my baby I was diagnosed by the doctor as having sleep deprivation when I woke up and couldn’t move one night and my blood sugar was fine.
I know insulin doesn’t cross breastmilk as it is a protein that is broken down as soon as it enters the stomach. Would it be hormone related then. Does hypoing cause hormones or stress hormones like cortisol?
