[QUOTE="Debloubed, post: 107323, member: 23038"] yikes! poor chap, must have felt full enough to burst, bless him! :P I would suggest 15g of quick acting carbs if he was registering a low BG but if it was an error and you were aware and he could stomach it, then count enough 'normal' carbs to counter act the insulin OD and that should be fine. Otherwise you would be waiting for the hypo?! but then you would/could be armed to correct with 15g quick acting (small can full fat coke for reference, x5 glucose tabs or x5 fruit pastilles contain approx 15g fast acting carbs). Not sure that has answered your question actually, as I don't know if quick carbs 'disappear' :P someone on here will know though :wink: Ps - no questions are stupid, just some of the answers :lol: [/QUOTE]
