Message: <blockquote data-quote="ianf0ster" data-source="post: 2430903" data-attributes="member: 506169">I do take care in differentiating about advice for Type 1's and Type 2's.Are you saying that [USER=33777]@Erin[/USER] is actually a Type 1 rather than it says under her id?Where did you get this information from?Perhaps you are not aware that hypo awareness in Type 2's can be limited whilst asleep. Thus there is a tendency to take more carbs than actually required. Note that Type 2's don't get the detailed education on carb counting for units of Insulin that Type 1's usually get and indeed are often on a mixed insulin and fixed doses.Perhaps you are also not aware that many Type 2's are tempted to overcompensate for a hypo using fast acting carbs alone not realising that this is just going to set themselves up for another BG crash.</blockquote>
