[QUOTE="Jordi77, post: 2040621, member: 221771"] I lowered my carb intake and I still get the odd hypo during the night but being that low isn't that bad as I have been lower than that loads of times and I have to take it easy from a hypo but that takes a few hours and I am okay but you may also get the shakes which is normal with a hypo but that I can tell I'm low with my sugars and they are but I just use glucose gel or glucose tablets for it but sweets are just as good just don't eat a boat load as your sugars Will go through the roof or high and it will take a little while to get the sugar out of you but the glucose gel and tablets are around the right amount you need at one time and I sometimes use pure sugar in black tea and no milk as the milk will slow down the absorbing of the sugar and that is about what I use for hypos and to get my sugars up when they are down at 2.5 or around that and I have been lower than that before when I was first diagnosed and that I was at 1.9 so I was less instructed by a nurse then but now I can do more as I have had diabetes for 25 plus years now [/QUOTE]
