[QUOTE="paulliljeros, post: 1512344, member: 220050"] To be honest, in 30 years I have never used one either, and haven't had one in my possession for well over 20yrs. I would say, that as long as he has good hypo awareness, set some simple rules for treating hypos with something like a fun-size can of coke, a carton of orange juice or 4 or 5 Jelly Babies. The thing I was never taught, which for me is fundamental, is to eat the treat, and then wait. I used to just keep eating sweets until I felt better, and had no idea I only needed 20g carbs to rectify an average hypo. Obviously, if there is more insulin involved, he may well need more carbs, but it's a simple rule no-one ever told me! [/QUOTE]
