It wasn't meant to be about why I overshoot!
It was about hypos!
It was about the fact about there being only one treatment of a hypo!
I disputed that fact!
I would even go as far as saying that quite a few T2s who go hypo, should not drink or eat glucose as that would be like throwing petrol on a fire!
But no one would say it because in an emergency, it is standard treatment to have glucose or glucagon!
Until you know that the standard treatment be used in extreme emergencies, then why shouldn't something low carb be used to bring your bloods up slowly, so as not to affect a spike!
That to me is common sense and logical, because of my experience and I know I'm different but logic dictates because of my condition!
That's my opinion, and should be either read and understood or just ignored.
I apologise for my rant, but I could not, not reply!
I bit! Ok!
I would guess it would be interesting to see the response to this.
For a hypo, emergency response glucose, or, your response, give low carbs.
Personally, and from experience, hypo, give glucose.
Get paramedics.
If that needs rewriting, it would be interesting to see what any type 1, and even type 2's say.
Bear in mind, dealing with a hypo, I had difficulty getting a liquid in, what low carb would you suggest, for similar circumstances?
