[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2299937, member: 41816"] [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] [USER=468755]@There is no Spoon[/USER] [USER=468524]@pdmjoker[/USER] my experience of reactive hypoglycaemia (no hypo inducing meds required) is that if I wait for my body to sort itself out, I may not die, but it gets pretty horrible. I'm certainly not safe ‘operating machinery’, whether that is a strimmer, a car or a carving knife. Yes, I have nearly stabbed someone when in full hypo-rage. It got ugly. So maybe a hypo correction could be viewed as potentially life-saving? Gluconeogenesis is a slow process, nowhere near as fast as a liver dumping glycogen in response to stress hormones, also, I believe that gluconeogenesis works better if the body is fat adapted or in ketosis, which of course is not the case for many of us. If we are in ketosis then a liver dump may be sluggish or inadequate. My own response to RH hypos is 1) pre-empt/avoid in the first place, if humanely possible 2) when I realise a hypo is incoming, I eat something (just about anything, and usually the nearest thing). I believe [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] eats biscuits. I am more likely to glug milk from the bottle in the fridge, or eat choc, or whatever my shaking hand can reach without me having to walk far, or climb stairs. If the only thing handy were a boiled sweet on the floor covered with dog hair, then that would do. 3) sit and wait till I felt ready to 4) go and find a nice big satisfying low carb/keto/carnivore meal to prevent rebound bg bounces and head off the next round of munchies. having said that, my lowest recorded reading was 1.6mmol/l At that level, coherent thought isn’t guaranteed, so rules 1-4 are more like [B][I]guidelines[/I][/B].
