What some type ones seem to forget is that while i may not go into a comma
with a low..i can pass out or become disoriented and irrational.
I have as a type two gone as low as the 30's which is pretty darn low!
If i was driving or doing somthign requiring a clear head i would be a risk
to not just me but others.
So finding the right and safe way for me to come out of a low and stay
stable is important.

The danger of getting onto a reactive hypoglycemia roller
coaster is a real danger for non-insulin using T2 who still have good
second phase insulin responses left, and one that doesn't exist for
insulin users. Whereas insulin users have to avoid the risk of serious
medical emergency lows, a danger that doesn't exist for many
non-insulin using T2s. Quite different dangers, with quite different
appropriate remedies to avoid them.

Any generic advice about hypos which doesn't differentiate between
these two quite different kinds of hypo condition is crudely and
dangerously over-simplified. Kurt's long quotation of the ADA advice
was a good example of that kind of crude over-simplification.
