Message: <blockquote data-quote="Diamattic" data-source="post: 732319" data-attributes="member: 138639">The sugar free rockstars are like 5g of carbs, but if it was a full 69g combined with alcohol i can see 2 things going on. 1) Alcohol tends to cause a delayed low, and can keep your sugars low for hours after drinking, it also prevents carbs from being processed as they normally would, which is the cause for the low. So this could have stretched out that 69g of carbs throughout the night, making it less 'spikey' lol2) If you have your basal dose set higher then it needs to be and you slept longer then you should have perhaps it was counteracting the excess carbs that have been stretched out ? In the future maybe switch you the sugar free rockstars lol  My preference is now the Monster energy zero ultra in the white can 0g carbs, SO good lol</blockquote>
