[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 603188, member: 116204"] Its not uncommon to have a false high then drop like a rock after drinking pop while in hypo - because you've given the both NOTHING to work with a shot of sugar does one thing it gives you the boost to get a balanced carb, fat and protein into you to keep the levels stable. Having crackers and a protein such as PB, tofu, or the like, even hummus and veggies will work (or does for me) I drink regular pop when working to give myself that false high because other wise I'd be on the ground (I run between 3.5 and 5 when working and that's with the regular pop and no fast acting insulin) having a carb and protein does help to keep things up, but with the work I do (I'm on my feet and moving between 7 to 9 hours a day and lugging upwards of 500 pounds of equipment) I'm doing eating enough just isn't much of an option (though protein shakes do work just not particle to keep around without the ability to keep them at a good stable temp). Having protein bars on hand can also be a good option to eat after you've drunk the pop or OJ. [/QUOTE]
