[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 532338, member: 20775"] Ouch. Yeah I hate when I get down into the 1's, usually at night and the next day almost always sucks. The most recent I was heading downstairs to grab something to eat (middle of night) to treat it and my legs gave way on the stairs, luckily I more or less did an unexpected sit down on the stairs then slid to the bottom. I don't think I have ever known my wife move that fast. The following day she bough a case of Lucozade sweets so that I now have a pack on every single floor in the house and in every jacket. To be fair her work is keeping her away from home quite a bit and I think she was worried about be going up and down stairs to treat this when I am home alone. The Lucozade tables work well enough and I have found that 1 sweet = 1 mmol/l for BG which is nice, though sometimes when I am really low I find it takes me a couple of attempts to work out how many I need to eat, apparently it is really quite hard to add 1.(something) and 5 when you are nice and low. Also they take much less space than the bottles :) /A [/QUOTE]
