I have had T1 for over 40 years, and have had many, many hypos in that time. I have found that each time my insulin type changes, my hypo symptoms change too, and it all needs to be relearnt. My biggest problem has probably been over compensating for a hypo, and over eating. With recent changes to my insulin regime, I have been trying to learn what will get me out of trouble enough to eat something proper. If my BSL is around 3, roughly 3 jelly beans will get me ok enough to eat something else, closer to 2 at least 7 jellybeans are needed. For me 3.5 jelly beans equals 1 exchange. I NEVER go for a walk or anything without some emergency much loved chocolate bar with me, and I have a few of them in spots around the house. My preference is for 'Crunchy' bars, chocolate over honeycomb, or a 'Summer Roll', chocolate and coconut over nougat. I have been told that chocolate slows down the absorption of the sugar, but I'd rather be eating something I like- I can't stomach the glucose tablets! A favourite drink is Creamy Soda, I won't drink coke if I'm having a hypo!
