Not Type I but Type II - however need to learn more about controlling hypoglycemia because I keep hitting new lows.
Any recommendations for foods that bring you up fast would be of use.
I'm using juice and adding juice ice cubes to my water when I do any activity that might lower my glucose. I'm kind of tired of having to eat all the time - but that might be my new normal.
Hope you don't mind my hanging out even though I'm not a Type I. I do have a very good friend who is - and has been since the age of 21. (In fact I helped get her diagnosed).
I was hypoglycemic in my teens - so I'm familiar with how crappy you feel when it happens. Would like some better solutions than what I currently have.

Hmm Skittles? Candy made with sugar! Gees. I think of that as cheating but I'm hitting so many lows it could be handy right now! Thanks.
@Sydland A few friends are now keyed in and I heard "Get some food now!" when I started typing gibberish a few nights ago. Could not get the correct motor response to my fingers.
I'm sure that sounds familiar. I did not need to test to know to go get some sugar in some form.
I really hate getting that low though. I can literally say outloud "Gee I need to eat" and then sit there another five minutes (or however long) before I do it? Definitely effects my brain function in a big way when I go below 80-something and in the 70s I barely make sense.
I drop Rapidly with No realization I am Low, 1 1/2 table spoon of white sugar and 15 mins usually I am back in a Good range, then though 1 slice of bread and protein or sugar will go to 20 White Sugar is My BEST Friend

It never occurred to me. I've been using glucose tablets. (And I always feel like I'm going "Nom nom nom" through the whole thing.). But of course I'm low at the time.
@RavenCT Tab's are Great, but white in My Opinion is the quickest to get in my bloodstream Raven, BEST of LUCK
