I like to go walking and find that this can often cause my glucose levels to go too low. I therefore now carry a fruit drink of some description. As well as the glucose tabs that I always have on me.
My question is about types of fruit drink. I'm looking for something smallish and I also carry plain water, so don't want too many large bottles to carry. Also something that isn't going to leak and also something that doesn't have any sugar or sweeteners in it. Only fruit. Some drinks don't last once they are opened, so that can lead to a lot of wastage. I was thinking of a long lasting concentrate maybe, or a powdered option. I have fruit shoots at the moment but not happy about the sweeteners in them. I don't have the time to make smoothies from scratch either. Besides I can't drink it before it goes off anyway. All suggestions welcome. What do other people do?
