To fight low blood sugar officially doctors suggest to take two spoons of sugar, have hart candy everywhere you go. Does it works? Not really. I do have low sugar is as part of my daily life. Not the case it is all the time low sugar every day. But when sugar is low, even it is not so low as it is 40 mg/dl. With 70 mg/dl I can feel low sugar. In case like that every step is problem for me. I have no energy to walk, to get some place to sit. I need to eat something right away, and candy is not the solution.
This is why I try to have some meal for myself in my handbag. It is easy to put on bottle of coffee. Also is very effective bottle of OJ. Not big one, or large, just small one, or two if one will not reduce hunger. It is temporary solution. But it is easy to carry on and to have it handy at any place. Also it does not need to be replaced because of it is spoiled. It can be store in room for long period of time. It is also very important in our routine. Just think about, you have to care if emergency kit good to take, or you have to replace it every day or hour.
Also I do carry on in my bag Protein bar I buy in Costco. It is very convenient. It can be stored for month in hand bag, if it is not Summer. Also it is easy to eat at anytime everywhere. I even eat bar in Met Opera House if I am too low as I do feel. I avoid this as much as I can. I ate this bar only once in all my seasons. But as I said, it is easy and very convenient. Protein bar keep me good for the time I get home.
Every time when we go out, go camping, or go to Lincoln Center I try to have sandwiches. It is very good to have sandwich when I am outdoor. Sandwich works very well in case of low sugar, in case we have to eat something. Everyone do sandwiches. The question is, why it is not presented in routine care for diabetics? Two spoons of sugar is not easy to have. Most important, it never works.
Really, does those who created guidance or recommendations do know anything about condition they recommend to fight? I really do not see they do. Two spoon of sugar is not meal. When we are hungry, no one of us eat two spoons of sugar. Every one prefer to eat sandwich. What is difference when one is diabetic? Well, diabetic's body does not metabolize carbs. So, added two spoons will not be used as source for energy. If so then why it is recommended as effective part of treatment? It never was, it never will.
At the same time when I eat my sandwich, and I am 380 pounds, what people see? I do have diabetes because of I cannot stop to eat. They see, I eat so much that I eat everywhere I go. It is not the case. No one do know me. Every one judge me. They see. At the same time if someone try to push into my mouth sugar, they understand, it is emergency, and they will try to help. This practice is so widely used that if I am in ED with low blood sugar they do IV with glucose. Sugar going above the sky.
I do not know why after low blood sugar episode sugar is all the time go up and very high, regardless what was put into my body. Even if I was at home and ate soup, I will have higher level of sugar then I usually do have. I do not have study or understanding of this, it is just how I do see it on my meter. But after shot of insulin sugar going down withing a few hours. It does not effect any next readings.
