[QUOTE="claire1991, post: 1095059, member: 276670"] No need for sugar throughout the day or a carby snack after :) 15g of carb every 15 mins until it comes back up again is how you should treat hypos. Lucozade is excellent and you can get the small cans of pop such as Coke/Sprite/Fanta which have 15g per can. You should have something like that and then re test 15 mins later. If you're still low after then you repeat until you're stable again. Having a steady dose of sugar throughout the day will cause you to have a high later on, if you're correcting and you correct after a hypo then the chances are you will end up hypo again, this is why the 15g every 15 mins is the best way. Also, chocolate is no good to treat hypos, it's slow release so you may still be hypo after the 15 mins and end up over treating because the chocolate has taken longer to work. :) Claire x [/QUOTE]
