[QUOTE="Angey, post: 2174670, member: 359735"] Best of luck to you.... I’ve had it for nearly 50 years and it’s still a rollercoaster at times!!! You have lots of good advice already but no one has mentioned a hot drink. It might just be me, but a hot drink seems to help me process the sugar more quickly. Have both fast acting carbs and slow acting. Jelly babies (already mentioned ) and fruit pastilles are good fast acting carbs and chewing them in your mouth lets you absorb the glucose a lot faster than waiting til it gets to your stomach. You might have sweated a lot so drink lots to help prevent possible post-hypo headaches. Also, after being so low, be kind to yourself and just have a quiet sit to let yourself Recover. This is complicated. Be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
