1. INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT--

   For this talk to your physician first & get the schedules made from him.

   1. Increase the dose of insulin in anticipation of a heavy meal. eg parties
   2. Decrease the dose of insulin in anticipation of any exertion or have sufficient snacks instead.
   3. Once/twice deviation from low sugar diet is OK.But overall adherence to a low sugar diet is required as that is what counts.

   All the points given in the intelligent management --always talk to your physician first. He will tell you as to how much extra dose of insulin is required. Then you can prevent any hypoglycemic attacks yourself & have a better overall blood sugar control. Also you don't have to contact him every now & then for small day to day changes.
