| I absolutely used to do that and I have stopped. For me, recouping from a low blood sugar takes very little food. I use Starbursts for on the go type of treatment. I eat about one Starburst for every 10 points that I need to raise. I usually use 100 as my target number. If I am in the 40's, I will eat five to six starbursts and that will fix it for me for about two hours. If I use glucose tabs, my blood sugar will start to decline again too quickly.
At home, I use milk. As odd as it sounds I don't need more than one cup of low fat milk to bring me back up. I usually don't like food when I am low and I struggle to find something to eat. Milk is usually my choice.
