[QUOTE="smidge, post: 676346, member: 29301"] [USER=13582]@Dillinger[/USER] - you are very good using dextrose tablets and energy gels and things like that. I use a Celebration or a Hero usually. Each one is about 6g carb and usually corrects my hypos quickly. The Libre showed a Snickers Celebration hitting my BG almost instantly. Mind you, my BG seems pretty slow moving in either direction and tiny amounts of sugar seem to be all that's needed to get me out of the mild hypos I tend to have. I also seem to function very well at lowish levels and can make reasonable decisions on treating my hypo. At least, I think I can! If I've got active bolus on board and I hypo or if I have a scary night time hypo I tend to use half a small carton of orange juice - except that I don't seem able to only have a half carton, so I finish the carton and end up spiking high, injecting to correct and ruining any chance of sleep! So I don't recommend that. I guess in a way I use a similar strategy to you when treating a hypo - small chocolate for levels just into hypo territory and orange juice for lower levels or when I feel really quick acting carb would be prudent - only I use nicer things LOL Smidge [/QUOTE]
