dodgy tum after coming out of hypo

[hellbell84]

i have just had a hypo at work - 1.7 so had some fruit pastilles to correct. within half hour of doing so, i felt like i had the runs (sorry people) and had to run to the ladies

This seems to happen everytime i correct a hypo with sugar/lucozade etc. does anyone else suffer this or know why it happens??

Thanks

Despite it not being recommended I treat hypos with dark chocolate. Neat glucose can result in technicolour yawns which do not help in absorption of glucose/sugar! I do not understand why but it developed over the years - maybe one builds up an intolerance?

Even without a hypo, if I have too much sugar I have to keep visiting the ladies. When I first noticed regular visits I thought it was coffee, so I stopped drinking it, and my tummy waas still a bit dodgy. Then it clicked, too much sugar, and this is long before diabetes was diagnosed.
