Last week inadvertently hit a dangerous low of 2.6 and just hit a low of 2.9. Eaten large fresh banana and had about a dozen pretzel sticks so already back up to 3.2 in half an hour but should I bite the bullet and have a glcose tablet as well - don't want to end up going too high as I have quite severe retinopathy. Thanks for any advice Regards Jeremy

Next time stick to pure sugar like Dextrose/Jelly babies to get sugar to rise quickly. You will hopefully be sorted now. But those pretzels wouldn’t sort you out quick enough. Bananas can be useful in small amounts when going low but not hypo, but will be slower acting. Sugar all the way for dangerous lows.
