Nighttime low? Man - those suck worse than any other time for me.

I don't understand why everyone uses juice rather than coke? Coke works faster. You loose your hunger faster. You don't over eat if you remove the hypo faster. This is what I have learned. Maybe I am just weird but for me coke is MUCH faster than juice!

Yes, it was a nighttime low. This is how it came back to me the next morning as I was trying to remember what happened. I decided to post it, although it probably confuses most everyone. I fell asleep before I could check again, and figure out how much I had eatten.
Chrissie,
I don't like pop (Coke). Juice is what I, and probably many of us, were taught to use when were first diagnosed. And when my bg sugar is 60, and I have been running in the 200's(which sadly it has), a sip of coke is not going to do it. Especially when I'm confused in the middle of the night.

I just got to tell you - I was taught juice too - many years ago! If a sip doesn't work for you - try more. i don't particularly LIKE it either, but it works!
