| Overcompensating for Lows My mom is a nurse at a high school, and she has lots of stories about the diabetics at her school and it amazes me how some kids correct their lows!!! Most kids eat a granola bar and a juice box, or a juice box and an entire pack of cheese crackers!!!! Obviously, these kids aren't in tight control, and it drives my mom nuts!!! However, if I had been diagnosed at an early age I might not have kept myself in as tight of control as I try for now. Anyway, I treat lows cautiously too, it doesn't take too much to get my bs up to a normal level after a low. I've found that an ounce of nuts is best because it has protein and carbs. |
