I return sharply to normal levels3 - 4 hours after carbs, my BG levels are in hypo low levels.And as you say unless I have something else to eat before the hypo happens.And low carb stops the symptoms.I do think that having too many carbs, is similar to the rebound effect.I know you have issues with your diet, who doesn't?But knowing how high the spike to trigger the reaction, might give you an idea, what carbs you have.It should be low, and take note of which ones you can.It is nice that you seem to be coping better, it's not easy and it is a minefield.I do get hypos from strenuous exercise, but something as mild exercise, walking, swimming, doing chores etc, don't, again, trying things, is the way to find out.Snakes are concentrated ingredients, and are likely to contain more quick acting sugars, wether natural or industrial sugars. Best wishes.</blockquote>
