Hi All,
Does anyone share my annoyance that when they have a hypo they sort of overdo the amount of sugar/carbs that they cram in to raise their blood sugar. Earlier my blood sugar was 3.1 and I felt bad - shaky, heart beating hard, pins and needles etc. so I had half a bottle of lucozade and 5 choc hobnobs. My blood sugar now (a few hours later) is 22.1. Obviously its up (good) but its now very high (bad).
What do people normally take/eat to raise their sugar from hypo levels?
How about a different thing for different readings - 3.5, 3.0, 2.5 2.0, 1.5, below etc.
Cheers
Dave
