[QUOTE="Y3MBailey, post: 611152, member: 122965"] I will be honest I have never really used any kind of special product for Hypos I have always either used Haribo, lucozade or something similar (a spoonful of lemon curd is also a fave) The absorption speed of a glucose tablet will also partly depend on how much your 'crunch it up' when you swallow. (not by much) For emergencies you can get gel sachets that I keep in my desk at work. I have in the past used Dextrose when I first started but realised shortly that they tasted horrible and most common sweet things had the same effect. I think it is quite unusual for them to take 45 mins to act as normally when I start to feel 'low' I normally am able to correct the sugars within 5-10 minutes and that is not using super fast acting glucose) I cannot comment on what has happened here but if you find lucozade works..... then go with that....
