| | | Hypo Tip
When in hypo, whilst in recovery, i tend to start typing on the computer on either MSN, or if no one is about on microsoft word. I just type anything really.
I do this to try and keep my brain active as i am concentrating more. I reckon it helps the recovery process speed up.
Would you agree? disagree??

| | | My immediate thought is no...The only fuel the brain uses is glucose, so if you are making your brain work harder, you are burning glucose that may not exactly be plentiful...
Someone posted a while back that they can literally THINK themselves into a hypo...

| | | I have to disagree too. I would do something similar, because I was at work actually typing, while I was going low.

| | | When I get super low, all I can think is "must...get...food...going..to die...must..eat" but those are the wake up in the middle of the night WAY too low- low's. Otherwise I'm pretty foucused on getting the bs back up and don't feel functional until I do. If you can multitask like that while you are low and it helps you sort things out....go for it.

hypos awake or jsut waking up i find are one ofthe scarriest things i have to go through healthwise. but what are you gonna do? there is nothing we will probly be going through them for the rest of our lives. |

| | | Erm.. I have no idea where you could have gotten that from.. your brain does not require that much glucose. If you really want to "burn" glucose, go run for an hour. That is what I have done in the past, along with drinking 1/2 gallon of water, when I got really high.
