Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 1684396" data-attributes="member: 85785">I have often thought about how to treat a serious hypo, I have got my remedy, but what do you tell or advise someone who doesn't realize the consequences.When I used to go hypo, a biscuit would just about nudge me up back into normal levels without spiking me, then a very low carb meal fifteen minutes after to normalize my bloods.But I don't have a problem if it is an emergency, because the person responding would treat first.I have also discussed this at work with first aiders and at my local club, they are aware of the condition now, and I'm confident they would help in such a way not to use normal procedures for a hypo, but of course it depends on how bad it was.I'm hoping it never happens.RH is best treated by diet. Keeping glucose levels in and around normal levels. Not going high enough to trigger the need for the excess insulin in response to a meal which has too many carbs depending on the intolerance to those foods.If a patient with RH, does this, the symptoms lessen and their health improves dramatically.It is unfortunately a condition with no cure, but can be controlled and managed well, if you are resolute and eating sensibly.The success of my control, is down to the many posters with great advice and my battle with my doctors, also my determination to acquire knowledge and understanding of how and why this condition happens.Best wishes.</blockquote>
