| I like glucose tabs best because of their portability, no need to keep them cool like juice or sticky candy. Another reason I like them is because I know that one 4 or 5 g glucose tablet will take me up 0.5 points (mmol), (9 points US). so if I am bordering low, I can just take one to bring me up to say 4.7 or so. Two are usually enough to take me up from a moderate low 3.8 or so, to around just under 5 without skyrocketing high. If I have got to the shaky stage, I just increase the number of tablets that I need.
Another good thing about them is that they taste reasonably OK without wanting to scarf down the whole tube at once.
Works for me! |
