During mild-moderate hypo's I'm pretty good at just having some fruit juice, but once it gets more severe (2.9 or less, usually) I lose control and...not BINGE exactly, but definitely eat a lot more sugar than I need in an out-of-control way. I say not a binge because it's not like I eat thousands of calories or until I am painfully full or anything, but once I'm hypoglycemic enough that I have to lie down and I'm sweaty, weak very shaky etc I feel so ill I get really desperate to get out of that state ASAP and overdo it. I often fall asleep after a hypo (once it's resolve itself) for several hours but them wake up with a BG in the low-mid 20s before I ate way too much.
Anyone have advice on how to restraint yourself in that situation?
Also, does anybody go back INTO hypo's? I had one last night (BG 2.6) and thought I'd over-compensated again, but my BG went up to 8.0 and then ~40 mins later the symptoms came back and my BG was down to 2.8 again.
