[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 630414, member: 41816"] [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] I'm type 2 with a history of reactive hypoglycaemia, and if I eat glucose, sugar or similar, I'm going to have to wrestle with knock on effects of seesawing BG for days. Then there's the added factor that if my BG drops below a certain level I will get a variety of symptoms including a strange determination to only eat what I want. Glucose tabs are unpleasant. Restaurant food, is pleasant. So is chocolate, chips or whatever... Ironically, I have been known to refuse an apple, get up walk away, and go find a doughnut. Sad but true. And there's no point arguing, either. Another of my symptoms is the kind of bad temper that could lead to violence. I'm not proud of it, in fact I carry appetising snacks at all times, to avoid the next occurrence. I cringe at the things I have said and done in the past, but glucose tabs are not an answer that would work for me. Just leave me in peace, let me eat what I want, and 10 mins later I'll be human again. Thankfully this happens incredibly rarely, because I'm well on top of things (thank you low carb!). [/QUOTE]
