Though I have not tried each flavor, & the one I tried so far honestly did not taste that good ( needed to chase each gulp w/water)... these work great for ppl like me too who do not suffer from hyperglycemia, but suffer from hypoglycemia (the opposite of being a diabetic) instead. Trying the Vanilla next time I need it.

Re: Does Eating Less Carbs = Better Blood Sugar Control?

Leslie Kendrick — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:44:52 -0000

I take no meds for my T2, I have 30 carbs at breakfast and lunch 45 for dinner and i have lows at least 3xs a week of 45 to 52. Please be careful.

But Ethan, please put a caveat that your advice is for adults with diabetes...not children who need the carbs for brain development and physical growth.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. My husband has diabetes and when he does not eat enough or no carbs his level drops . He will be able to better manage his lows and this will certainly reduce our stress level !!

Thank-you for sharing such good advice. It is good to know what might be "best practices" and to share the info among those it will affect. I am 53 years of age. I have two brothers that have had type 1 for over 30 years now. Two years ago, my eldest daughter, who was 28 at the time, fell into diabetic akido-acidosis (sorry I know I am not spelling correctly right now)....coma, acute renal failure, lung issues, I could go on and on. It was at that time she was diagnosed with type 1. I thought we were out of the woods, but it is no longer "juvenile diabetes." She has come to the point where she is taking control of her diabetes, not the other way around. She has empowered herself with knowledge, her determination, positive attitude, and sheer faith. She is also insulin resistant, and is under a lot of stress daily.

I just want to say thank you. I wish she would contribute to these blogs. She needs support groups somehow. Maybe this will be the kicker. Take good care and I will keep you in my prayers. I love this blog idea!

In your 3rd sentence you put "where" and I think you meant "were".

Sounds like you may have hypo-unawareness. Many people who have diabetes for a period of time tend to develop this unawareness and cannot depend upon feeling those symptoms as indicators. I wear a continuous glucose monitor sensor which helps me greatly with my hypo-unawareness.

I am an elite cyclist, have been type 1 for 14 years (and I was on the race-winning team in Race Across America in 2006), and have used Gu exclusively for some 12 years now. I am interested to try these. Will they be available in Europe?

Unfortunately I don't get symptoms of low blood sugar until they are around 45. Even with your Level, it takes me about an hour to regain 60 to 70 blood sugar. Any suggestions? I usually take 2 or 3 Level doses.

Hello Ethan, I was introduced to your product at the Fairfield County Diabetes Walk in Norwalk, CT. We already love it... Please feel free to advertise all you want on our Facebook page "Let's Kiss Diabetes Goodbye!!!" Thanks for creating such a great product.. :)

I've been a type 1 for 59 years and began carrying Life Savers in my school uniform pocket circa 1953. I'm so pleased with your product. The packaging is especially convenient and low-profile: purse, car console, nightstand drawer, husband's pocket at the Opera or Symphony. Amazing. Thank you so much--I've been waiting for you. I'm yours from this point forward.

Hopefully this will help me stablize my blood sugar especially after working in the garden.

This is information I had not considered previously.

I am suffering from the lows and eating too many snacks to raise my blood sugar...I am afraid to decrease my insulin levels before meals because i fear the high sugars 2 hours after eating...i don't exercise too much....i hope level life can help me

Re: Gaining Weight From Too Many Lows

Al3rd47 — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:58:36 -0000

To date this is one of the best products I have used to treat low sugars. It works fast but does not " spike the ball at the goal post" It truly is a great product and believe me I tried it all being a diabetic for 50+ years. To all the diabetics out there, YOU WILL LIKE WITH OUT A DOUBT THIS PRODUCT, Al Olmstead.

Wow Ethan! Sounds like you were a bit more active and had a crazy eating schedule. Ever think about trying a pump? You can adjust the basal insulin to compensate in cases like that. BTW: I LOVE Level Life glucose! I'm recommending it to all my patients. Keep in touch!
