[QUOTE="Discovery22, post: 2136844, member: 495383"] Wow that was a long reply, thank you What level would you consider enough to cause a spike? I think the highest I ever go is a max of 6.0. Some days I’ll wake up in 3’s feeling rubbish and literally have trouble keeping it above 4.0. Sometimes I can have 3 hypos in one day yet my levels have been below 4.5 all day. Why am I getting hypos without a spike? In hospital they gave me juice /glucose if my levels were below 5.0, at home I won’t treat until I’m around 4.0. I used to leave it until I was in the 3’s but it left me feeling so rubbish I couldn’t recover and just wanted to sleep all day so I treat it slightly earlier now. Sometimes I treat a hypo with glucose and it stays stable after with no more that day. Sometimes I can seem to do what I want and have no hypos at all although that is becoming rare now What would you have instead of bread for a sandwich/ lunch? Or instead of carbs with a meal? The thought of just eating meat and a few peas for dinner sounds horrible How long does it take for cheese to bring you out of a hypo and how much would you have? I’ve tried a biscuit and after 15 mins my levels were lower than before the biscuit. I could feel the fight between the sugar and the insulin in my body and the insulin won. Then I get to the point where I know I’m supposed to treat it but can’t be bothered or feel too confused to know what to do so end up doing nothing. That’s how I’ve ended up unconscious I’ll read up on the Keto diet and try to familiarise myself before giving it a go and I’ll also look up dietdoctor I will certainly find willpower if it stops hypos Thank you for your time talking to me [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
