I log all my hypo treatment. The body doesn't differentiate calories to treat a low and "regular" calories; an excess of either can cause weight gain.

I log them as a low blood sugar meal. I can't say I'm always accurate. I have also been told that the body sees a calorie as a calorie and will store it as fat if there are too many. We don't get any breaks just because we need the glucose. I use glucose tablets but also use regular food to treat to help keep my budget down. Frequently I use skittles because they are 1 carb each, easy to count and are super cheap. I can often get where I need to be with only 5 skittles (I'm super sensitive to carbs). I buy the big bags and then just put them in the circular icebreaker candy boxes and keep them with me all the time. They don't melt and don't get smooshed in the ice breaker box.

When I lose control I use a low as an excuse to binge. When I feel stronger I go for a juice box. While I carry glucose tabs everywhere the older I get the more my palate and teeth hate them! A limited portion of anything is good for me. Finish the box, wait the veeeeeery looooooong 15 minutes and test again. In the middle of the night I have juice and peanut butter but I'm apt to pile on calories when I'm tempted to scoop it like it's 8ce cream!

There is a great book by a type 1 athlete and diabetes coach who is also a CDE named Gary Scheiner. Book is "Think Like a Pancreas." He also wrote a book for diabetic atletes. He is at all the conferences. Also check out Ginger Vieira s book " Your Diabetes Science Experiment." She is a t1d health coach and former weight lifter. I haven't got it down but Gary said to reduce the bolus before your meal by half and to drop the basal about an hour before exercise. That has helped me a lot.

I have a pump and CGM, but do not and will not change basal rates that frequently. Without isolating the basal, how do you know that it is the culprit? It could just as likely be your I:C ratio that is wrong or your correction factor. For someone that eats the same number of carbs at the same times every day, that might not matter. But if not, then tweaking basals will lead to highs or lows as eating times change and as carb amounts change. That defeats part of the benefit of a pump.

I hate going over because I needed juice or candy. I use juice or soda generally, sometimes candy. Sometimes I just don't log them or forget trying to come up.
