What do you eat to get out of hypos and to stay level

[blinddate]

After 53 years I still have problems with hypos.

Insulin Type 2 ..... Only ever had 1 hypo but now know when i'm dropping too low so use McVities Digestives to bring me back up slowly as not to spike. OK so type 1s have to watch carbs more than 2s but sugary sweets/drinks spike me dreadfully so I find this works for me and a few other 2s I know. Important to test every 15-20 mins tho' until i'm settled!!!

I use little mini cans of coke as they work instantly, or sometimes, a banana!

Cartons of fruit juice are best. The ones you can by in 6 pack from supermarket have 20g of sugar are ideal to get hypos sorted. Best to eat some longer acting carbs like a sandwich too though

Wow, that brings back some memories! I don't think I have had one of those in 35 years...
