Tell me how do you recover from that or treat it.  I do understand that not everyone has a problem with sugar and carbs.  This is the most effective way to treat a low-glucose episode. 

I have had to consume nearly 45gms of sugar to recover.  15gms wait 15 minutes and have to repeat it or depending on my blood sugar, I may need a 30gm bolus at one time. 

The question that I am asked most often:  
 Is that your hair??????

I hate when I get those episodes!  I usually try to keep hard candy around to combat the effects but it takes awhile.  One time, I drank OJ, rebounded too quickly and started dumping!

See that's what I mean!!!!   I need to figure out the balance  (if there is one).  I can not stand to be sick yet alone sick and disoriented.  I have to keep a quick sugar source with me at all times and my DR has now prescribed and injectable (which I don't like but know it's needed).

I suffer from time to time myself.  I keep glucose chewable tablets on me. I've needed up to two doses to feel normal.
