I'm looking for some suggestions for snacks to have, following overnight hypos, that would keep his bs stable until morning.

My OH is currently losing weight and adjusting his fixed insulin doses as his weight is reducing, but we often have nights where his Libre 2 alarm goes off in the early hours. Apple juice helps to give a quick fix, but we are often woken by the Libre 2 alarm a couple of hours later as his numbers have dropped once again.

We have tried a 3 pack of biscuits which sent his numbers soaring. I'm now totally out of ideas.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
 
I'd first look into adjusting the dose to prevent those hypos.
And yes, if the hypo is already there, treat with something quick acting and wait until out of hypo territory first before adding something more substantial.

1 or 2 biscuits instead of 3?
