I am 48 yr. old man, 286 lbs...With TYPE 1 Diabetes since age 12

I also have sleep apnea. I will NOT be able to function without insulin as I am type 1...I produce NO insulin...how will I be able to manage hypoglycemia --- low blood sugar if excercising or stressed or late for a meal and need to IMMEDIATELY elevate blood sugar levels so I do not go into insulin shock? I am concerned that taking chewable glucose tablets or such will cause dumping --- what is the experience of other TYPE 1 Diabetics please.....thank you...I am scheduled for RNY in October.. greetings and best wishes to all - Barry
