A New Year’s Eve I hadn’t slept well, in fact at all night before, and I slept through both of my a.m. and p.m. snacks. When I took my before meal, what sugar for dinner it was 59.

I go low at night fairly often, just usually not low enough to worry about - had six or seven 3.8's/68's just in the past two weeks - don't even worry about them anymore since that seems to be "normal for me" - no symptoms - feel totally fine

For those times I keep a few of those kids sized orange juice tetra packs on hand - have about 15 carbs worth of sugar and can store them for just about forever not refrigerated. Almost as quick as glucose but taste way better

Most people over compensate. That 15/15 rule is great advise
Thank you so much I feel more comfortable with that solution. Juice will go on my grocery list. Thanks so much. Graham.
