| I used to rely on chocolate, OJ, Coke etc to treat hypos. I am a recent convert to the tablets and now I never leave home without them.
The difficulty with coke, chocolate etc that they taste far too nice and stopping at 10-15g of carbs is nigh on impossible when you just want to feel better; getting it right without a rebound high is a lot harder for me. Stopping at 3 or 4 glucose tabs is far kinder on the waistline and works a treat. No, I would not give them to someone as a romantic gesture as they taste pretty dire. But they are a medecine as far as I'm concerned, not a food to be enjoyed, and they work far quicker than anything else. |
