[QUOTE="Bluemarine Josephine, post: 1082594, member: 213188"] During my DAFNE course, I was instructed to change my basal insulin, from Tresiba to Levemir. On the next day of my switch, the Tresiba overlapped with Levemir therefore, during the DAFNE course I experienced a hypoglycemia (which was not a bad one as I was monitoring the situation using my Libre). When I told the “class” I am going hypo, all of them said to me: “Have a biscuit! Drink some Lucozade!” Because I have been in ballet for years, I have been practicing strenuous exercise along with healthy, nutritional choices. Even now that I have Type 1 Diabetes, I prefer a nutritional choice to treat a hypo than an unhealthy one (unless the hypo is turning severe.) So, I asked my nutritionist at DAFNE “may I please have a banana?” she nodded and said “of course you may!” Within 10-15 minutes my blood glucose was raised by 5 mmols. Therefore, I totally agree with Juicy regarding the choice of the banana to treat a hypo, I have had the same experience myself. My hypo was not as low (and I doubt I would be as calm and collected at a 2.8 to consider a banana instead of a glucose drink) but, I do agree that a banana or an apple are a very good solution. The calories are minimal and they are a beautiful source of Vitamin B5, C, potassium, manganese and fiber. Indeed, the solution to a hypo problem is one, nice, ripe, juicy fruit away! Also, with regards to your effort for a weight loss, from my experience, for weight loss the key lies in nutrition; not in exercise. In fact, exercise is very important to shape your body and maintain your weight loss but, 80% of the actual weight loss is in nutrition. Weight loss takes place in the kitchen, not in the gym. No matter how much you exercise (even if you are a professional athlete) if your nutrition is incorrect you will never see a good result. I would suggest for you to follow a diet of 3 meals a day, try to avoid snacks (unless you need to treat a hypo), minimize cheese which has lots of calories and fat, or even eliminate it completely from you diet (or allow just a slice of gouda or edam cheese for example which has about 101 calories - almost half as much as a salmon portion... amazing isn't it?) and switch to 0% fat yogurt which is an excellent source of protein and calcium without the fat. Quit all sodas despite the fact that they may be “no sugar” ones, exchange pasta, rice and potatoes with fruits and take your carbs from fruits instead. Try lots of fresh salads (which are freebies for us diabetics) and have no more than 100 grams of meat/fish/poultry for your lunch (which is a portion slightly smaller than the palm of your hand.) Allow yourself only 2 slices of wholemeal bread per day. For desert, you can make combinations such as 100 grams of 0% fat yogurt with 80-100 grams banana (which is about 25 grams of carbs.) You can sweeten it with Stevia or Canderel or sweetener of your choice and (lots of) cinnamon (actually, this is a nice choice to have as dinner as well.) Try to eat in a fruit/desert plate, this will help you minimize your portions. I hope I could help! Regards Josephine [/QUOTE]
