Low blood sugars of 2.4!!!!

I use lucozade as i find it works best . I used dextrose sweets in past but found them useless. And i know my bloods take at least 20-25 mins to rise. I figured this over the years and now i have told my team and they are happy for me to wait the longer time. Cos if i checked it after 15 mins and it was still hypo and i took another 10g fast acting carbs and 10g carbs my bg would go sky high. Maybe you need to check it a bit longer ?
 
Lucozade does the job nicely and I've normally always got a bottle with me. Jelly Baby's work pretty quickly too and they taste good! 4 of them gives you about 20g of glucose. Not quite as fast acting as Lucozade but a good substitute.
 
Okay thanks guys o have made an appointment for the 13th this month for the diabetic clinic to see is we can do something so either changing about my insulin or possibly starting to learn carb counting
