[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 797860, member: 11028"] No that's not true nosher to say its very unusual to have postprandial hypo's, there are number of reasonsn why someone may go hypo, for example mis-calculating the carbs in the food, unplanned exercise/activity, fat delaying the absorption of the meal, injection site problems where there's a delay in the insulin being absorbed, injecting twice (yes this does happen) to name a few. [USER=30859]@CMichael[/USER], when the stomach is full and you need to get glucose into your system quick I was told that fizzy drinks (as in Coke or Lucozade) works fastest as the carbonated drink helps speed-up the digestion of the food, don't know if this is true or not, however I had a close call last year when my bg was falling fast after eating so drank a party size can of Coke and it did the trick, but then again I've eaten Jelly Babies and they've worked the same so any form of glucose is good. I'm a type 1 btw. [/QUOTE]
