[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 647917, member: 41816"] Hi, If you are low carbing, AND you are sure it's a 'false' hypo (your BG is still above 4mmol/L) then I should have a wee snackette. [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] just has a cuppa. :wideyed: Which is fantastic, probably an excellent idea, but... I'm too much of a wimp. I want/crave/need food in that situation. If you are like me, then I recommend you stick to your low carb principles (this is a [B][I]false[/I][/B] hypo after all), and have something low carby. Cheese, nuts, coffee with cream... They will give instant tummy filling satisfaction, but digest slowly, preventing any high/low swings. In my experience, shoving carb snacks into a false hypo (or even a true hypo - remember, I'm a type 2, not a type 1) is likely to cause a seesaw hyper/hypo effect that can last a few days... Mainly because I can't stop at just one tube of Pringles. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
