best remedy for low sugar

[sherrief]

Over the past six or seven months I have been experiencing some wicked low blood sugars (48, 55, 60) Mostly overnight, some times during the day. I've had type ii for 10 years and this kind of problem was rare. What is the best rapid response to this. If I drink juice or take candy or jelly to fix the immediate problem my morning sugars are outrageous. Regular food takes too long to stop the decline. I'm allergic to peanuts, corn and soybeans so my nighttime snacking options are limited. Any advice?

I too wake up overnight with really low blood sugars.  Sometimes too weak or nausous in the morning to get up.  I eat a 100-150 calorie snack at bed time that is a carbohydrate and it has helped tremendously.  Keep something very sugary close by if it still happens, but follow up with a complex carb so it doesn't crash again.  :-)

It is possible that you need your medication dose changed.   You really should check with your physician.  The best is oj with teaspoon of sugar for immediate help though. Good luck.

Also everyday, press the centre point of the palm of both your  hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.
Also do this: kneel down, breathe out,pull in stomach, keep your both hands on stomach, bend forward and try to touch the floor with your forehead.Do this 3 times to stimulate the kidney and pancreas.
