Treatment of hypoglycaemia is important and getting your blood glucose levels back up is so important to T1s and some T2s.But with something as weird as I have and other hypoglycaemic conditions, the secret to not recurring episodes of Hypoglycaemia is not to hyper either before or after.So the suggestion to use glucose, glucagon or high carbs is not the recommended treatment. A very low carb alternative, just to nudge your blood glucose levels back into normal range and a low carb small meal after fifteen minutes to maintain normal blood levels is the way to do it.The trouble I had that every time i started going hypo, I would treat it as advised and I would rocket up into double figures which would create more excess insulin. I would hypo again, treat it, hyper then hypo. And what this would do to my blood levels, hyperinsulinaemia! Too much insulin, insulin resistance and also at times very high blood levels.So after my hypo hell, I would never advise anyone unless it works for them to use high carbs or glucose as a treatment.Best wishes.By learning about others conditions, it can open the possibilities of trying something different, to the norm, which I have found out, is for us weirdos on here!</blockquote>
