[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1301847, member: 196960"] Are you ok now? How about use someyhing less bouncy than lucozade for your hypo treatment? Lucozade will bounce me high, too high. Then later another hypo. A small amount of protein will steady me, but I only use protein if its daytime and I can reach glucose if protein fails to reduce my hypo sufficiently. Are your hypos severe and familiar to low 3s or less? We do have a bit playing field as meter isn't 100% accurate and the majority of type 2s have insulin still been released, just not the first phase insulin. Are you getting a hyper after lucozade? The key is to keep these bgs stead. Irratic bgs cause nerve damage and can put your heart and other organs under stress. Be gentle to your system. Don't panic and feel confident once you've understood your reaction to glucose at times of mild hypos and severe ones. The more damaging the corrective hypo treatment, the more bouncy your bgs will be thereafter (that day, or for some, 2 days after). Let me know how you get on. Feel confident with what treatment you use. ;) [/QUOTE]
