Hypos

I used to have jelly babies, but I thought they were too many calories... .....so moved to Asda's chosen by you ISOTONIC SPORTS DRINK....

I also find liquid is much quicker at treating hypos....

If you could put in the carb amounts of the hypo treatment as 0+1.5 or 0+2 it will tell you and others that you had something to treat it.....

There is no doubt that timing of your BI, even when on a single dose can be experimented with, for example some folk take there dose in the morning for whatever reasons. For you however it looks like the dose it too much so I would keep your dose time the same until you get a morning BG within 1-2mmol/l of your pre bed test for more than 2 days in a row.....

Well, yeah, there is no chewing, but I think its more to do with not having to be broken down in the stomach, it just gets digested almost instantly, and so the valuable carbs can be processed and distributed.

Its not exactly the same way, you would put 15g of carbs for your hypo as 0 + 1.5.

So the 0 lets you know and others/HCPs that you were not having any meal time carbs with insulin, but that you are just having carbs uncovered by insulin. Obviously writing it in CPs [Carbohydrate Portions] helps from a DAFNE point of view

Ahh I see thank you
