Surely the bad taste is a plus when having hypo cures? When I'm low my natural instinct is to eat/drink the fridge until my blood sugar has gone up, so having something available that I actively like is an invitation to gorge. It's got to be nasty enough so that you only have it when you really need it.....
You're opening a wide philosopical discussion on hypo approaches there, Ellie!
Eating the fridge is always one of them, maybe not in my case, as I take the Tom Waits view that batchelor's fridges turn into a bacterial science project after a few months if not being tended to.
My take on it is that whenever I'm guesstimating there's a hard drop ahead which other sugars haven't sorted, the 15g Very Berry flavour Glucojuice I carry around with me is always going to pull me out of
that.
If I'm in a hypo, I'm not looking for nasty tasting carbs. The Glucojuice has been nicely warmed up through being kept in my pocket, tastes nice, floats down, brings me up. I don't need anymore, because I reckon it's done the trick. A couple of oatcackes with cheese on top fits on top of that to smooth out the tail end.
