Does anyone forget they have sugar on them?

Evening one and all! Just wandered if anyone else ever goes low and then has to find sugar ASAP then comes out of their hypo and realised they were carrying some already? This keeps happening to me! The other day I was walking home from work and went into the 'confused and dazed phase' of a hypo. It took me double the time to get home and I was really out of it. By the time I came out of my state I realised I had glucogel in my handbag. This keeps happening though - I always carry sugar but my brain doesn't connect....anyone else or just me?? Need a tactic....x

I did once walk past the kitchen, yep that place with all the food, stagger upstairs and eat some diabetic chocolate. I'd only put it up there so the kids didn't eat it and get dodgy tums. It was a present. And of course no help during a hypo! Lol

Not quite that but I do sometimes find in a bad hypo that I'm scrambling in my (large) bag for ages not finding anything when the bottles of glucojuice are there for everyone else to see!
