What Are The Alternatives To Xanax In A Type 1 Diabetic Patient?

IS THERE A REPLACEMENT FOR XANAX? I am a type 1 diabetic and when my blood sugar goes low I feel horrible for hours. I use to take xanax and that would stop it. They are not prescribing xanax now is there a substitute? I am a retired doctor and not stupid. I was at the doctor today and said that you eat sugar to correct it. That is true but they ignoring the side effects of high secretion of adrenaline.
