[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 676199, member: 138639"] I have kinda found that too.. Most of my hypos are because I injected too much before a meal without realizing. When this happens i know it around the 2 hour mark, but also know that the 'hunger' can't be real because i just ate so i typically just try to pick a candy or something around 14g of carbs. That brings me out of it without loading up on extra calories or over treating. As of right now my favorites are tootsie rolls - 6g of carbs, 20calories per small roll And Airheads candies - 14g of carbs, 60calories per candy. [IMG]http://images.sodahead.com/polls/001030087/airhead_xlarge.jpeg[/IMG] The airheads cost about 25cents in bulk each, and are very small and easy to carry around in your pocket or bag, they are pretty much all sugar so they work just about as well as Dex tabs (i can't notice a difference) If i am hypoing for reasons like - working out, walking alot, forgetting to eat, or something else i will eat (just like you) about 30-40g of carbs, usually in the form of a sports nutrition bar (like a cliff bar) or a protein bar. If my sugars are severe i will have a dex tab or two AND half of the sports bar to get them started back up fast. [/QUOTE]
