[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1736613, member: 85785"] First of all, I'm not T1! But I do have experience in treating hypos. I have a condition where if I have any carbs, I go hyper, then after a couple of hours, I go hypo. It is to do with my pancreas. I have a triggered response to produce too much insulin. One of the first things I learned about treating my hypos was to avoid the rebound effect. This was because I would continue to go hyper then hypo again and so on if I had too much to try and treat the hypo. During an eOGTT, I was given lucozade and other carbs because I was going going very low. I spent the next five hours in the hospital, because I lowered my treatment to a couple of plain biscuits, enough to just nudge me gently back into normal levels. Avoiding the rebound effect. I do understand that being T1, you need to have above normal levels, so my treatment would not be advisable, but in my experience, you only need enough to get you back where you feel comfortable. And not over treat the hypo. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
