[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1416166, member: 295621"] Firstly, you've come to the right place for advice:) Welcome to the forum! Symptoms of hypoglycemia can manifest themselves in many ways. Confusion is probably the most applicable one in your case, and crying is a totally natural response. In fact, some people become completely delirious, violent or psychotic. So I wouldn't be too hard on yourself because of a few tears brought on from low BG. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY FASTING DIETS! You're not a mouse, you will not do yourself any good and it will increase your odds of hypos/hypers. The study you are talking about was completely inconclusive in helping T1D in any shape or form. The mice didn't even have the autoimmune condition that we have as T1's; unfortunately the media has been spinning a web of inaccuracies again... The key to good management of T1D is consistency. Eating regularly, eating regular sized portions and counting your carbs correctly. Certainly reducing your carbohydrate intake does help to minimise BG swings, but I'd advise you to eat a moderate amount of carbs as it gives you the most food choice options and allows for a fairly "normal" diet. I'd suggest that you get the book "Think Like A Pancreas" - it is the absolute T1D bible. Here's a link for you (both paperback and kindle versions available). I've got mine on my Galaxy S7: [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cka/Think-Like-Pancreas-Practical-Managing-Diabetes-Insulin-Completely/0738215147[/URL] [/QUOTE]
