I know, probably not textbook hypo treatment foods. But when I’m low, I just like my enjoyable foods if you know what I mean.
I just hate dextrose and juice in the middle of the night!
My concern with the yoghurt is that the fat would delay the absorption of the carbs.Libre 2, I did confirm with prick.

Anyway, Nestle ski yoghurt 120g, (13.9carbs 13.6 sugar), so not too bad. 1.5x tubs gave me 22g.
Do the compressions give low or highs or either?
I find food, in general, is a bad idea in those hours of the day, and I use exclusively dextrose tablets. At any other part of the day I'd need follow-up solid carbs, but in the early hours of the morning, not so much.You are woken at 2.30am with a 2.2low, you take 20g carb (yoghurt). You then wake up at 5am with a reading of 11. So, annoying, it’s so difficult to make a recovery from a low without going to a high, especially in those early hours?
If we knew we were going to hypo, we would take less insulin.Maybe not a solution, but have you tried some carbs before going to bed????
Well, lets try and keep things on a positive note, I’ve never considered potential brain damage, don’t think I’ll be googling myself into oblivion on that one. But yes something else to consider for sure.
As for the term ‘hypo’. When is a low sugar a hypo and where is the line between an awareness hypo and one where assistance is required?
For ex. It goes down to 3.4 you sense it and deal with it, no issues. Is this a hypo?
I’ve only ever had 2 requiring other people’s help, probably sub 2's (in 40 years). Are those events still just a hypo’s?
The last study I read concerning hypos defined it as 3.9 and below. When my consultant asked me to tell him how many hypos I’d had recently he defined as 3.5 and below. So yeah all these differing definitions I would say aren’t particularly helpful.Both are hypos, I think anything below 3.6 (or maybe 3.8 , cant remember) is classed as a hypo
Though people without diabetes and blood-glucose lowering medicine can drop that low naturally - but that's generally not an issue (RH can also drop it too low as well)
Westons vintageAren't hypos just the end of a good night's sleep @Zinadane and I find what to treat them with difficult. Orange juice works fast as you know but can be cloying, likewise apple juice. A small glass of cider works for me but I imagine that people might say it'll take you lower. I've found it balances out, I wait for 15mins to make sure all's OK and then get a really good snooze. I don't do this every hypo but it works
Yeah, you get asked, have you had any hypo's lately.The last study I read concerning hypos defined it as 3.9 and below. When my consultant asked me to tell him how many hypos I’d had recently he defined as 3.5 and below. So yeah all these differing definitions I would say aren’t particularly helpful.
A low where you require assistance from someone else is classified as severe but I don’t believe it has any particular term or name (which again not helpful linguistically).
I also struggle to be able to answer this, I personally class myself as hypo when I'm experiencing symptoms of a hypo.Yeah, you get asked, have you had any hypo's lately.
Well, you think.. please can you quantify what you mean by the term 'hypo'!
