[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1919624, member: 101136"] Hi Geoff, Hmmm. "Down the line." If it's any consolation from me...? I've been diabetic for just over 42 years now. (Diagnosed on my 8th birthday.) & never needed 3rd party assistance with treating. Apart from an episode on the old animal stuff when I was about ten years old, when I had to fight convulsions (oddly, just in the legs.) to find the kitchen & get some "scram" down my own neck. Still managed only just to self treat. (Since then, I don't leave home without something in my pocket.) I personally can treat & keep going.. But it's the luck of the draw on how lows affect an individual. (Metabolism.) Though, I wouldn't disagree lower bolusing for a lower carb count on MDI would minimise the severity in comparison to a higher bolus to carb. It's all pending on timing of the bolus coupled with the type of carbs ingested. The working profile of novorapid (on "paper") doesn't always work in "harmony" with certain carbs & fats slowing the digestion. Or even speeding up & causing a large spike before it settles... When I was a kid? The answer was. (From D HCPs at the time.) "Eat a snack to counteract the low mid morning or afternoon." One can only eat so much. ;) [/QUOTE]
