Hi! Quick share that I would love to get some feedback on...
I had a hypo this evening and accidentally took a sugar free drink to help raise my sugar levels. I would have expected this to result in disaster, however it appears as though something in the drink (caffeine?) was enough of a stimulant to allow sensible management of the hypo even though blood sugar levels were still very low.
Makes me wonder about my hypo management process - is management with sugar / nutritive food the right way to go or should we all be reaching for stimulants of some form as the first course?
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
