Bad hypo

Could you also ask them to put a warning on Lucozade Sport saying "Not suitable for treating hypoglycemia"?

Oh my God u almost make me drop a tear... First time I see anyone who understands how much drained u feel after a hypo. My family doesnt get it; they are just so annoyed at me (they usually give me white bread with jam until I recover my senses) but to read this is so relaxing, to know that there is people in the world who knows :s
Hope u have a good night of sleep so u can get all right again!!
* If anyone knows any sort of recomendation to soften the damage to the brain afterwards a hard hypo would loooove to read about it
 


Just remember that what brings u back from hypo land is the amount of glucose aka sugar or carbs that u eat... Based on years of experience chocolate, despite does have some sugar, is not the amount required to act fast enough. Chocolate also contains grease, and fats absorb much slower.
Understand that u can take advantage of it and indulge on a "guilty" pleasure but next time u can have some sort of cookies or biscuits that contain chocolate
 
@Hooked, if you compare Lucozade Sport with normal Lucozade it has much lower carbs. Per 100ml normal lucozade has 17.2g carbs (of which sugars 8.7g but all of the 17.2g is glucose based), and lucozade sport has 6.4g carbs (of which sugars 3.5g). That's a massive difference.
 
Ah, I see. I never use it, so didn't know. Worth remembering. Thank you.
 
And the reduced carbs in Lucozade Sport are also formulated for slower release.
