I'd keep some of the glucose tablets in my desk or purse, within reach, and take them if needed, just as you'd take an antiacid for upset stomach or an aspirin/tylenol for a headache.

Also, can you get up and go to the bathroom at any time? If so, keep a bottled soda in your purse and just grab your purse and go to the bathroom if you're low.

Its hard to believe a company would be so rigid as to not allow a diabetic to have hard candy, but seems the glucose tablets would qualify as food.
