Do you know the best hypo treatment in your opinion for me as I have texture issues?
I have been suggested the following:
Gluco-Tabs (i cant chew them)
Carry on with my Lucozade, I have it already
Jelly babies

Basal testing
I have used any of the following

- Concentrated orange juice i.e. from the multi pack cartons
- Coke
- Gluco juice (didn't like it)
- Glucose tabs (mainly use for hypo avoidance)
- Sugar in tea / coffee
- Lucozade
- starbursts (read chewitts)
- ice cream

The advice I got was to only treat with about 1.5 carb units but high glycemic i.e. sugar.

Hope that helps.

Glucojuice is good as is full sugar Coke, but sticking with the Lucozade is fine.

I find Lucozade hypo treatment to be the best, especially during the night because it is so easy to get down. Unfortunately, come next year, they are going to reduce the sugar content by 50% due to the forthcoming sugar tax.

What's a sugar tax? Sounds like some overbearing gubment meddling scheme. Right?
