T1 here too. The weird part about this, is that it happens while you are aware of it.
My brain: "hey, you're doing it again. stop it. You know it'll end bad". my hand: "nope. here's more cookies".

A minor low doesn't cause this reaction from me, but at a certain point the survival instinct kicks into gear so heavily there's almost nothing you can do until your BG starts to rise, even when you know you've overdone it. It's the real life experience of this Frog and Toad meme: https://i.imgur.com/YdSSscE.png https://i.imgur.com/YdSSscE.png
