[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1581463, member: 85785"] The problem with treating a hypo is if you have too much of anything that has sugar in it or carbs, you may find yourself in a recurrence of going hyper then hypo again. The trick is to find something that raises your blood levels slowly enough to not send you too high to prevent the hypos. I have found a single plain biscuit, like rich tea, with a cuppa, eases my blood up and then I test to see, what is happening, then after fifteen minutes, I have a very small low carb meal. So I don't stimulate the insulin. The worst thing happened to me after an eOGTT, when I went hypo and drank lucozade. I was in hospital for another five hours, because, my blood glucose levels were bouncing all up and down. That was a lesson I never want to repeat. It is always advisable to avoid fluctuations in your blood glucose levels. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
