Beware of misleading ingredients.

Sorry. But why would I buy/order online as a T1 on exogenous insulin, maltodextrin. Which looks pretty pricey online.
When I can just walk into a shop & score a bag of jelly babies for a fraction of the price for “just in case” I go low??

There are also “sporty” drinks that can achieve the same fix from the high street if going low, too.. I’ve had one hanging about behind the passenger seat in my van for the last 6 months…

With the best will in the world.
I feel you seriously should be looking at a revision on your meds if “excess protein” raises BGs.
As a T1 myself. I need to factor in how it might (& it can.) eventually affect my levels.

Quoting Jaylee: "maltodextrin. Which looks pretty pricey online." Does it really? There's lots of bargains out there if you shop around. lol.

Excess protein does raise my blood sugars, there's no ifs or buts about it. It's a fact. It has done since day one of me following the Paleiolithic Ketogenic Diet since May last year. Why would I want to eat carbs/sweets and inject insulin 5 times a day? The HCL supplement is for my low stomach acid (Hypochloridia) NOT for diabetes. I would still have to take HCL if I was injecting insulin. Thanks for your concern but I'm quite happy the way I am. So can everyone please stop advising me what I should or should not be doing.......Thank you.

Thanks for getting back to me.

So, to clarify, the evidence is observational or anecdotal? Not saying that is heinous, but just clarifying it isn't a proven method, as per peer reviewed research evidence.

Sometimes it's just important to be really clear in our words and sentiments.

I've always taken the trial and error approach. I trust no one and then I know what works, or doesn't work for me.
