[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 159463, member: 17713"] Love the idea of dates and ok with juices... am on pump, just that I will not drive below 6 now, and sometimes if my levels are 4 or 5 I just want something in my car to bring me up reasonably quickly. Due to my previous incident my friend will never leave me before I drive home from walking our dogs and I will not drive if I am under 6. Sometimes we are soaked through (more often than not, where we live!!) and it is a pain hanging around outside the car (definitely won't even get in to it) and then eating sweets that I really do not like!! I think the dates sound brilliant, and from the link they are pretty healthy too. Fortunately my BG's dipping down after my dog walks have all but disappeared, but still need something to take outside and keep in bumbag and car. I also love dried bananas and pineapple, so no doubt won't be so healthy as the dates, but would another good enough alernative just to get me up that little bit extra if I am under 6 for my short journey home. I think in the house, that a pineapple fruitjuice sounds a good idea for me too, especially as I won't normally drink them too much because of the sugar content, and it again is the only juice I like....especially as my husband will say '1 for you and 2 for him' when it comes to having a minimars!! So glad I have asked the seemingly silly question, as yet again I have got some 'experienced' replies.... [/QUOTE]
