'Clean' hypo treatment

[Debloubed]

Hi, does anyone know of a 15g quick acting hypo treatment option which is 'clean' ie: no gluten, wheat, dairy etc? I'm struggling to think outside the x3 jelly baby box!

Hi,

Would Lucozade, or the old white stuff do the job...

Or good old fashioned Dextrosol tablets, which also don't contain any of the above!

Be very careful some JB's have gluten in them.
I use fruit pastels when out and about if needed, love the tangtastic sweets (Haribo) and as Tim say's glucose tabs.

HI. Yes, glucose tablets or drink.

Thanks to advice here I have sugar cubes.

At home I use orange juice and when out and about I use jelly babies.

Bottles of Glucojuice - really really fast acting

Kendal Mint Cake.

Kendal Mint Cake.

The problem I have with Kendall Mint Cake is that i want to eat it all....

Little sachets of sugar, like you sometimes see in cafes?

you have to love the jelly babies though

They contributed to my stomach slowing down..... In my case all jellys, gelatine etc is off the list.

Love the butter tablet that I made from recipe on here but the sugar cubes are very good.. Easy to carry. Looked up glucojuice, they still have E numbers in and for me although the numbers are low I will not risk it...

For being a 'clean' tasty hypo stopper nothing really beats pure sugar.

I did also get some powder glucose from Boots to add to water for the gym.. But not needed it as levels stay so constant.

Funnily enough I found these today in sainsburys. 4 flavours and they are yummy!

Fully hydrogenated vegetable fat, anti caking agent etc? Not exactly "clean"

OP asked for gluten free. So I posted. That's why I added ingredients, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it! Just trying to help!

I am gf too, and I am trying to eat clean, the trouble was always hypos that set me back as I would have to drink coke etc. however, I am aware that you can drink 200ml Orange juice when low so that's as clean as you can go for low blood sugar quick carbs

200ml? Gosh, I'd go sky high - I only take 100ml.

I have GlucoTabs or GlucoJuice. Both (especially the juice) act extremely predictably and quickly, so it helps avoid over-treating. They are also conveniently packed to carry around and taste good!

@pinewood I beg to differ about glucotabs tasting good. YEuch...
