[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2210503, member: 420515"] The obvious answer is you overestimated the sugar that was actually needed to raise your bg. I think for many people it is difficult not to stuff your face with sugar until the hypo sensations go away, but at this point the last few mouthfuls of sugar were unnecessary. There are those out there who, while in a hypo, can calculate the amount of sugar needed, eat the exact amount, then stop. I immensely admire their willpower. I found that, if you can, eating some slower carbs with the pure sugar matches the insulin profile to the glucose release a bit better. Obviously you need the pure sugar to get you out of the hypo, but then a couple of biscuits and an increased insulin dose reduces the spike and keeps bg a bit more level until morning. This works for me, may not work for others. [/QUOTE]
