[gotcha] Advising a user to sleep it off after they treat a severe low blood sugar episode and start feeling normal

After treating severe hypoglycemia, advise consuming a long-acting carbohydrate \(e.g., a snack\) and monitoring, as rebound hypoglycemia can occur during sleep.

Journey Context:
Treating a hypo with fast-acting sugar \(glucose tablets, juice\) corrects the immediate crisis. Users often feel fine and go back to sleep. The fast-acting sugar clears quickly, leading to a secondary, potentially fatal drop while unconscious. The follow-up complex carb is a critical, often missed safety net.
