25: Q&A - "Do we need to treat hypos with simple AND complex carbs?"

from Empowering Type 1 Diabetes: with T1D Nutritionist Andi Balog · host Andi Balog

This question was asked by @sammclark515 on instagram! I would love to answer your question on a future episode! Ask one here About This Episode The idea of treating hypos with fast acting carbs, then following up with 'complex carbs' comes from old school management techniques and multiple daily injection management techniques. It is somewhat outdated advice, but some people are still being advised to do this to treat hypos, and it DOES have it's place (but only in some contexts!). It can be really helpful to know how to treat hypos appropriately, because mis-treating hypos can lead to issues like over-eating, rebound highs, disordered eating patterns, weight gain and more! Listen for step-by-step techniques for treating hypos and when to/when not-to apply the 'complex' carb technique!
