[QUOTE="LondonS, post: 2625574, member: 576958"] Hi there I’ve had Type 1 for 51 years now, no complications and many hypos every month. I have never lost consciousness and have been wearing sensors since the first days of them being released in UK to keep close eye on blood sugar levels via lots of monitoring. Luckily I’ve always had very good hypo early warning signs. I drive a great deal and have always kept several individual cartons of Ribena in the car (fast acting glucose), a packet of biscuits in a plastic bag to prevent staleness (long acting carb) and several Mars bars. Even if they’re ‘off’ they taste nasty but still retain the required sugar. It’s worth buying a few metal straws as the new paper straws that come with Ribena cartons become so soggy you can’t use them to quickly drink the whole carton. [/QUOTE]
