If you know me by now!
If someone with a blood glucose disorder like mine or like
@Brunneria, (T2 with RH!) Then the reason we hypo is because we hyper.
The sudden high is the glucose being used quickly, what is left is an overshoot of insulin, that is what makes us go hyper.
Pure glucose or anything middle to high carbs or sugars triggers the ' reactive' part of RH.
What would happen and did happen is it sets off a yo yo effect of hyper then hypo.
And that's what I call ' hypo hell' because your blood is full of glucose and the hyper symptoms, then full of insulin, hormonal imbalance, which has hypos at the end. So the horrendous symptoms which effects the brain so much. Anxiety, depression and so on. Mood swings of real magnitude.
And to top it off, you are really ill.
So, Yes! I do mean it!
There are other ways of treating a hypo.
Even in an emergency, I carry detailed explanation and a warning not to inject glucose or glucagon.
The must have glucose for a hypo is old hat, Yes it does relieve the hypo especially in T1s and most T2s, but for some like me, anything low carb will bring me up slowly and prevent a hypo. It is the same for treating T2s like T1s. It is different for everyone. If something works, then go with it.
I learnt my lesson in front of doctors and nurses in hospital and my endocrinologist has praised my thoughts on this and is advising those that can to do it, with caution obviously!
Long answer I know!
Better than just saying yes!
Hope that helps!
