As a type 2 Iseldom get lows, but I have accasionally gone into the 40s
or 50s and more frequently, inot the 60s or low 70s. What I find works
FOR ME is a small amount of orange juice, about 2 oz, to get me ff the
bottom and then something like a Wasa cracker with either cheese or peanut
butter to give my system something to slowly work on. Were I to take 4
oz of OJ I wld go too high and begin, if not a roller coaster, at least
problems with my next meal.
This usually results in a reading in the mid 80s by 15 mins.
Well since I went on the Lantus I am a bit more prone to hypos right now. As
my back allows, my real vigorous exercise consists playing drums.
Heavy/Speed Metal type...
For me though I see a more subdued/balanced response with the exercise.
Doesn't drop me super fast depending on the BG level when I start playing. I
got glucose tablets and gel from my educator, but I keep the tabs in the
Exploder for when I am out. At home I usually have the little bottles of
apple juice or Sunny-D for fast response. For a slower response will usually
do some peanut crackers and a small glass of milk.
