[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 711003, member: 85785"] Hi again, unfortunately, the ups and downs of her bloods are making her feel worse. The drastic way, and I recommend it, is to not eat or drink anything for at least 12 hours as this will stabilise her. Always monitoring and testing. What happens is because no food or liquid, there is nothing to spike her then give her a low. You must recognise that the sugars and carbs are doing this to her. She is creating far too much insulin and then too much glucagon, that is raising her blood levels quicker and then crashing. You can feed her a varied diet without carbs and sugars. There is plenty of low carb recipes on this site. Once you start on the low carbs, you will see the difference. I often have to tell people that I have an allergy with carbs and sugar! Look for alternatives than the high carbs. Please don't give her sweets or glucose or a sugary drink if she has a hypo, because it will accelerate the ups and downs of the 'reaction'! She only needs a plain biscuit and a sugar free drink to raise her blood sugars slowly. Hope I'm not confusing you! Please ask. [/QUOTE]
