Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 114727" data-attributes="member: 15325">Hi Kathryn.Welcome to the Forum.Lucozade is only a first stage treatment for a hypo, it is not a substitute for slow acting carbs such as when having a snack before bed. It along with GlucoTabs is designed to quickly elevate Bg levels and only when they are up to 'normal' levels should you have small carby snack to stabilise those levels, thus avoiding low blood sugars through the night. By relying only on Lucozade the level will go up, then quickly drop again......causing the problems as described.The young man concerned should be made to realise that this is all preventable by good control, which ultimately is HIS responsibility. He is old enough and as you say big enough to control things himself.</blockquote>
