* Please take post-prandial blood sugar level daily and make a record of the same. Please also avoid the foods that cause elevated sugar levels.

* Eat less food, more times in a day.

* Walk for 30 minutes in the hall or in the courtyard immediately after you take a meal. This will reduce post-prandial blood sugar.

Please also see my blogs.

A diabetic needs,first and foremost,a keen awareness as what is happening with in himself.You being a diabetic but also very active physically is a great asset in your diabetes management.Getting hypo occasionally is not uncommon in persons like you.All that you have to do is light snacking before you exercise without fail.If you happen to experience hypo after exercising no doubt you have to eat some food to restore the balance.You have to eat small quantities,slowly until the balance is restored.At this time what is needed is keen awareness as to what you are doing.That awareness will slowly give you the required will power.

Dear anamika-pondicherry

Please check your blood sugar when it becomes Hypo. My suggestion is that always keep Hypotab Dextrose chewable tablets 4 g with you. One tablet will raise your blood sugar approx by 20, so if your sugar is say around 50 then you can take at least 3 tablets. Alternately you can take 10 g glucose if you are at home and not having tablets with you (don't take both). Glucose will raise your blood sugar levels instantly whereas food will take time at the same time it can make your sugar go hyper. Please keep your activity limited so that you maintain a good sugar level. Check the GI of foods you take. Manage your diet and your acitivity, your sugar level will be in your control.

best wishes and regards

thanks for your very interesting reply because i didn't know about this hypotab dextrose - i always carry in my handbag sugar, biscuits, sweets and so .... - will speak with my generalist about this

[rameshmum29 in reply to anamika-pondicherry]

Instead of carrying biscuits, sugar etc.. you can carry glucose water if you can't find Hypotab. But don't consume glucose water if it is not required or else it will raise your blood sugar levels. target a sugar level and try to achieve it in combination with food, exercise and medicines.

regards

i understood - thanks for your advice

[anamika-pondicherry]

thanks for your advice - i am very often in hypo at night between 12 and 3 am. i will take more carbohydrates during my last meal

[anamika-pondicherry]

thanks for your advice

i read it !!! very interested - in my case (type 1 diabetes) my pancreas does not produce insulin and injections are required - of course the low calories diet you follow can only give fantastic results! any low calorie diet is also recommended, even for healthy people, but that does not deprive me of insulin injections, because my pancreas is not making a drop. For my evening meal I will follow your wheat recipe for more carbohydrates and avoid hypoglycemia during the night
