[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2306952, member: 368709"] First question I would ask is whether you know for sure you’re having a hypo? Have you been able to test? If having a genuine hypo then yes, some fast acting carbs will help and there are plenty on here that could advise on that ( to me as being an unmedicated type2 that doesn’t affect me). However if what you’re experiencing is not a hypo, but blood sugar fluctuations, then fast acting carbs may well contribute to a vicious circle. I well remember feeling shaky etc. but given my HbA1c number on diagnosis, serious doubt whether I was ever hypo, rather my blood sugars had dropped a bit lower than the high levels they were used to running at.
