There’s no sweeteners, colourings or flavours. And I just checked, the carb content per serving is 1g. Since oats taken 3x a week is my main source of carbs right now, I suppose I should do glucose tests after eating them. Weight training doesn’t seem to cause hypos for me. Typically my days are pretty well controlled. But I’m starting to understand what you mean. Is it that since I’m able to eat throughout the day, hypos can be avoided but once this rolls over to the night and I’m sleeping, BG dips and I wake up feeling bad? To answer your questions, I did 2 hour OGTT. I’m sorry I don’t remember the numbers but it was a positive diagnosis by my endocrinologist. He then did a fasting insulin test to make sure my baseline levels were not high. And it wasn’t. He gave me generic advice like what we can find on webmd. I noticed significant improvement after cutting almost all carbs out. My diet is pretty consistent everyday but the morning hypo episodes come and go. Is there any specific recommendations for dealing with morning hypo?</blockquote>
