From what I've learned, and checking the clinical practice guidelines, all I can find is that 10% glucose solution needs to be via IV - it states IM or subcutaneous injections as specific contra-indications. I suspect you'd be more reluctant to get cannulated than to eat or drink...Quick question for "the experts".
When my BG gets low, my partner tells me I get a tad stubborn (even more than usual) and don't want to eat or drink anything.
Is there a safe glucose injection?
This will be used in absolute emergencies.
As opposed to just lobbing Jaffa cakes at you from a safe distance?I would be wary of "glucose injections" because if you are getting stubborn etc then someone coming towards you with an injection pen I think will put you into fight mode, certainly would with me, as you may think he is trying to inject more insulin....
Your reaction is not unusual, bit like me and @porl the small 5 year old The best thing I would advise is for your other half not to get narky and to stay calm and try to treat you a little like a child plus something sweet and tasty is more likely to get you eat something.
Hope that helps

Oh no, that means @porl69 will be cleaning his computer again!
I hope he doesn't make a mess on today's frock.
Hard to disagree with that if your avatar doesn't exactly match your gender
