Diabetic hypo!

[crowther64]

Please can anyone help me. I am a diabetic and though i am reducing insulin I have had a couple of hypo's. i have had to take sugar which has knocked me out of ketosis. Does anyone know what I can have that will not be as bad as sugar to take, even if it takes a while longer to bring my sugar levels up?

Thanks, Pam x

Hi Pam,

Depending on how bad my hypo's are, I can get by on dark chocolate or peanut butter on wholemeal or soya & linseed bread. I do have glucose tablets or jelly babies if the hypos are bad enough & its never affected my weight or ketosis, as long as that's all you have.

Hope this helps.xx
