If i get my carb ratio incorrect and I take a little too much insulin and then get a hypo, will my BG keep falling because of active insulin or will the consumption of lucozade start workinganyway even if i have too much active insulin?
My problem is that I often get my carbohydrate counting wrong or I eat something with a low GI so the insulin starts working faster than the food is absorbed. I then have a really bad hypo. I drink 100mls of lucuzade and my BG carries on falling and then I panick and end up drinking a whole bottle. Eventually my BG starts going up and then the low GI food gets absorbed and my sugar keeps rising until its in the 20's and then Im advised not to correct.
Do others experience this too or do you just drink 100ml of lucozade and sit down and hope for the best? I live alone so hypos really scare me.
