[QUOTE="crystal, post: 648323, member: 6649"] I did a BERTIE course, which seems to be better than DAFNE in some respects. I was told to treat hypos preferably with a glucose drink, like Lucozade, then wait 10 mins before eating something solid like a plain biscuit or bread . This is because eating too soon will slow the absorption of glucose from the drink, and delay the rise in BG. In practice, my brain doesn't work when I'm hypo, so all advice just goes out of the window and I just grab whatever is available. Have had to give up glucose tablets as I now have a reaction to one of the ingredients ie. an intense throat irritation. Also react to sweets like Lovehearts. DSN thinks it might be a preservative, but I haven't been able to find out what it is. I never leave the house without sweets like fruit pastilles, a small plastic tub of shortbread fingers and a Yorkie bar with biscuit and raisins. A piece of Yorkie is just right for when I'm walking about and my BG is low normal. Experience shows that I will go hypo without extra CHO, but easy to overdo it, so a Yorkie allows portion control!
