Hi everyone
I have been diabetic for a year now and everything is going well so far. However, there is one thing which is bothering me. I need to eat every two hours in order to avoid a hypo, which means that I eat up to seven times a day. Every time I need to take a snack, I eat 15 grams of carbs and if I am walking through town this can be up to 20 grams of carbs. I have tried lower amounts of carbs but this resulted in hypo's. It is also not possible to lower the 24 hour dose (I am on injections), as I would end up too high in the morning. Since the facilities of my university are located all through to town I am frequently walking throughout the day and this contant need to eat is quite frustrating.
Are they any alternatives I could try to reduce the amounts of snacks between meals ?
