Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When your blood sugar is low, it feels like you could you empty an all-you-can-eat buffet. You eat until the panic passes. And when your blood sugar eventually comes up, what follows is an exhausting roller-coaster of highs and lows.
Every type one diabetic knows that feeling. But it is possible to correct lows without ruining the rest of your day. In fact, many lows can be resolved in just 15 minutes with minimal symptoms.
In this episode Cait and Tracy discuss:
- Why over-treating lows is not worth it.
- The sugary snacks that make hypos worse.
- Taking charge of fear, panic, and confusion.
- Tips for staying safe when severely low.
