I keep glucose tablets handy. However, it still takes about 1/2 hour to start working. Of the dextrose candies, I like Sweet Tarts best which is why I don't keep them on hand. They'd just get eaten.

Adam! Sounds like you could work with your healthcare team to reduce your insulin doses to prevent those lows! You shouldn't have to feed insulin. Fine-tune those doses!

@@DiabetesNerd cheers for the response as i have dinner early if I decide to get bed late I would be low and I don’t take insulin before bed so I need to figure out what i can eat before bed to avoid going lower by the time i fall sleep

@@AdamAdam-gx6pt I hear you! I suspect you're getting too much basal insulin if you're going low without mealtime insulin onboard since you eat dinner early. If it were me, I'd look at reducing my long-acting or basal rate (in a pump) dosage to prevent those lows without having to feed the extra insulin with food.

The 15/15 rule is outdated! 15 is typically way too much especially if your on the high side of 70!

I agree! This is a starting point for people who've never been taught how to treat lows -- and find themselves eating 50+ grams. I promise I have a more detailed video on treating lows coming! And a book, too, in fact! :) I appreciate your highlight on the 15/15 rule -- many lows only need 5 or 8 grams. I hear ya!
