[QUOTE="alaska, post: 676225, member: 14213"] I find that low carbing means I'm much less likely to have a sudden crash down to very low sugar levels but all the same, I don't want to be letting my sugar levels go low for any longer than I need to. The longer you spend at hypo levels, the more chance you have of losing hypo signs. In my higher carb days (years back now) I had poor hypo awareness from too many hypos, too often, for too long periods and sugar levels that would sometimes go much too low into the 2s. I'll sometimes use a couple of sugar cubes to treat a hypo (about 4g per cube) but it takes the best part of 15 mins to raise sugar levels from a mild hypo so will generally favour glucose tablets. Old glucose tablets can taste weird but fresh don't taste bad to me. I quite like the orange ones. Ed [/QUOTE]
