Well least I know what it feels like to go hypo
I thought Id be a little daring and start lowering my carbs right after my shot of humalog... I use 8g per iu, so I injest 80g of dex 5 min after my shot. Today I thought Id lower it a bit.. ~6.5 ~7g everything was fine... untill my meal. Normally when my meal approches (1 hour after shot) my BG is fine... well I felt, odd when I started eating. I couldnt put my finger on it.... but it wasnt normal. So I finish my meal (1.5 hours after inject, ok so it took my 30 min to eat... I was watching the orange bowl, sue me :D) then I go take a shower... I normally have a soft drink in the bathroom just incase, well I stopped that a few days ago. So I am almost with the shower, and wow I started to feel light headed/dizzy... I knew I was going hypo. Got out of the shower and checked my BG level... 65mg/dl. That for me was enough to make me feel it... 7mg away from my fasting BG level. Went downstairs, drank a rootbeer, and grabbed some candy I was craving. 5 min later my BG was up to 79... low, but still higher than my personal BG level. Needless to say I am going to stick to my 8g/iu... Just thought Id share... Hopefully it will help inform people about how fast it happend...
