Message: <blockquote data-quote="wilky" data-source="post: 108033" data-attributes="member: 23365">Huge thanks for that link Howie <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  hadn't come across it before.It doesn't sound like he has a perfect solution - he's still essenially aiming high with his bs before surfing - I'm guessing at around 15, which is what currently works for me. The hypo fit sachets are something new to me, and seem like they'd be fine in the sea, so should give me the confidence to aim a little lower on my bs before going in the sea. I'm thinking of going in the sea with bs more around 10, and having top ups from the (13.4g of carbs) sachets every half hour. Which is a cost of about £4 for 2 hours of surfing <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> but... seems is poss to get at least some on prescription <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I don't think its realistic now for me to be aiming below a reading of 10 before going in the sea, but if I get my bs levels more balanced, 8 may be poss in a few months - yes, in february  :mrgreen: Would be great to have a water proof bs tester too (its a bit risky leaving bags of valuables on the beach) - hey, you can get water proof ipods, so why not?!</blockquote>
