ck, I get hypoglycemic if I haven't eaten enough carbs for my activity level, based on my med dosage. Can also be affected by ambient temps, my eating habits for the past couple of days, fluid intake, etc. Doesn't happen often, but as I'm changing my diet, there will be a concomitant(?) decrease in required meds to keep my glucose levels correct.
It's releative, too. One week I can be hypoglydemic at 5.5 mmol/l, & a week later, can be fine at 3.9.
Bunny, I haven't tried it, but I'm reluctant to try anything new like that right now, becasue I basically understand my actions/reactions now. I don't want to throw anything new into the mix.
I did try Glurorell before, but If I remember, I had to take the Gluc before each meal, based on carb intake. With my meds, I take 1 pill, twice a day. Simpler.
Every coupla years I go to a class on managing diabetes. Every time, they say to watch your protein intake, so it doesn't get too high. So, we're supposed to watch our carbs, to reduce blood glucose levels, but not have too much protein, so you can't build muscle. I once said to the Dr., "Why don't I just go out on a pizza & beer laden frenzy. At least I'll die happy & won't have to worry about losing muscle, losing my virility, & losing self respect because the Dr.s have helped turn me into Jabba the Hut.
