[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 676174, member: 30007"] That's fine, and as a low carb eater as well, I understand that your brain functions pretty well at low levels (down to <3mmol/l) as it is able to run off fats as well. But be careful on approaches, as many aren't low carbing and putting themselves in a position where they need to make a decision at a point in time where that is difficult may not always be the right approach. If you aren't getting decent brain function at low sugar levels (i.e. the majority) then having a very simple approach that you know works is much more important. As it stands, I've tended to find that just eating more of the glucose tablets has the desired effect, but I'd also say that "in basal" and "out of basal" isn't an effect I've noticed as having a direct impact on a low. I've tended to find that hypos are incurred either as a fast hypo due to bolus or a slow hypo from basal. Generally the fast hypo requires more glucose treatment. [/QUOTE]
