[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2394396, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=541769]@Mrs.A27[/USER] What are his blood glucose levels like during the day ? How is he monitoring them ? What insulin’s is he taking ? Is there a pattern to the lows ? Is he eating the chocolate to curb his sugar addiction ? As Antje has said he needs pure glucose to treat a hypo to get his levels up as quickly as possible, chocolate contains fat so it can take a while to bring levels up and it’s not recommend to eat chocolate - the best treatment is glucotabs, I take 3 to treat a hypo and check every 10 mins till I am back I range again, eating a high sugar diet can cause a yo yo effect with blood glucose control, yes t1’s can eat it as along as we bolus correctly for it but eating excessive sugar isn’t ideal.
