I’m a type one diabetic, and having a low blood sugar is one of the worst feelings in the world. I’ve started wondering the science about how things affect you when you do have a low blood sugar. For example, how quickly after drinking juice does your blood sugar start to go up? For me, while I’m stiting there and waiting while my body dumps adrenaline into my system, feels like forever!

I guess almost instant? Like not as fast as putting honey or some sugar gels on your gums, but still fast. Ofc its dependent on situation since if your blood sugar is going down very fast it takes more sugar/time to get it to turn around.
And cant agree more on the last part. Even thought I know its gonna get up I still sometimes take more or make bread or smthng before the feeling fades only to put more insulin, bcuz I was going to be fine with the first one😅
