[QUOTE="anna29, post: 617043, member: 30936"] Recall a university diabetic student had some jam rubbed onto his gums via his quick thinking and acting flat share mate late one night . No honey in their kitchen cupboards but 'had' some jam so flat mate smeared the jam inside his gums . Paramedics were called and said it probably prevented him going into a coma . This thread title reminded me of this one incident and story . Glucose tablets or glucogel sachets or jelly babies or fruit pastilles are better stored in suitable places should you need them . Like in car , by side of bed, in travel man bag (if you use one) ? In kit bag on your person with insulin / BG test kit etc. Sometimes you have to find which/what ? you personally prefer the taste(s) off . For me - its either a kiddies pack of jelly babies or blackcurrant flavoured glucose tablets . Only LIKE this flavour too the other ones are :arghh: For a swift or quicker boost back its the lucozade original drink . Only ever needed this a handful of times in the last 5 years . But find - it does work proactively fast with me . [/QUOTE]
