[QUOTE="Debloubed, post: 114915, member: 23038"] Fab advice on these posts so far but does anyone else correct hypo's with quick acting (glucotabs, Jelly babies, whatever your poison is!) and then wait before having longer acting carbs? I was advised on my DAFNE course to correct with quick acting then wait 10-15 mins, re-test to make sure it was working, if it wasn't, take another correction type food (15g quick acting carbs = 5 jelly babies) and if it was, then take the longer acting carbs. The thinking behind his is to allow the quick acting to work before ingesting longer acting carbs which can slow the quick acting?! It does actually make sense and I use the method and find it works, just wondered if anyone else did? [/QUOTE]
