[QUOTE="gateian, post: 107350, member: 23207"] Personally I use dextroenergy tabs. I know that taking one of these will raise my blood sugars by about 1mmol. So if i'm sub 4mmols, i may take 2 tablets just to get it up to 6mmols. It will then usually settle down to around 5-6mmols somewhere. However, if you continue to have them, even when you are treating it, you may need to check your basal dose. I recently had a few days of continuous hypoing. Even having a few dextroenergy tabs only temporarily brought my level up before it dropped again. So i noticed my fasting blood sugars were coming down slightly. So I adjusted my basal level slightly and now it seems better. Also remember that if you have good sugar levels, any activity you do will require a bit of glucose before hand. So if you go out for an hours walk, you will need a certain amount of glucose. [/QUOTE]
