Why Your Low Blood Sugars Keep Rebounding High (and how to stop it)
from Your Best T1D Year · host Neil Greathouse
Show notesIf it feels like every low blood sugar ends with you stuck at 240 and wondering what just happened, you’re not imagining it. This episode breaks down why over‑treating lows quietly wrecks your graph, your energy, and your long‑term risk, even when you think you’re just “saving your life” with snacks.You’ll hear how hypoglycemia followed by big rebounds triggers oxidative stress and blood vessel damage, why that “eat the entire kitchen” instinct is so strong, and what the research actually says about gradual correction versus slingshotting into hyperglycemia. This is the kickoff to a two‑month Low Blood Sugar Challenge that helps you see the pattern clearly so you can start changing it on purpose instead of by accident.What You Can Do TodayNotice how often your lows end in highs this week. No judgment, just track the pattern.Write down one recent “low, then high” moment and what you grabbed first, Capri Sun, cookies, crackers, etc.Ask yourself this question: “If I didn’t panic‑treat, what would I want my low response to look like?”ResourcesHelpful resources and newsletter: yourbestt1dyear.comSponsorBlue Circle Health offers free coaching and care that fits real life.
