| I was told to have 15g of fast carbs, like glucose tablets, wait 15 minutes and test your BG. If it's still low, have another 15g and test in another 15 minutes. Two slices of toast and a glass of milk is probably around 45g of carbs. How soon after you eat that do you test your BG?
For bad lows I was told to follow the fast acting carbs with something containing protein/fat. So maybe a small juice box followed by peanut butter & crackers, or cheese & crackers.
