I probably should pay more attention to what happened to my BG after a hypo but I've always done the same. I hd it explained to me to take a fast acting sugar, like jelly babies, then after that a slower release one.Because of that I've always done the same. 3 or 4 jelly babies, then a slice of toast and jam. Sometimes though I do stuff my face because some hypo's are worse than others, even at the same number, and I just get the urge to eat and eat. Then after it when my blood goes back up I'm like '**** i shouldnt have eaten so much ****' haha
Maybe on my next few hypo's I'll try actually measure what a specific amount of grams of carbs does to me. I've moved on from jelly babies to glucotabs recently so I'll maybe have 4 or 5 of those and that's it next hypo and see what happens. Generally I'd always have a slice of toast afterwards but I'll try skip that and see what happens next hypo.
