Glucose Tablets

[robertwt]

Does anyone have a simple and elegant solution to the problem of Glucose Tabs falling out of their packs and getting sticky/dirty in a pocket? (I'm thinking anorach, cycling jersey, running vest, trouser pocket etc)

Thanks

Gluco tabs also come in rigid plastic tubes with a tight fitting lid, perhaps not the best idea if you're fumbling around due to a hypo, but they don't come loose in a pocket.

I see you're T1 and on insulin, so I'm guessing you have a meter and use test strips. It's just an idea (I've never tried it) but would the tabs fit in an empty strip container?

Accu-Chek Aviva test strip canisters fit 3 glucose tabs (or at least the ones I buy) perfectly. Much smaller than the 10-count glucose canisters but enough to combat most hypos for me.

Great advice lads.
I shall try out a number of plastic tubes - pill containers, test strip pots and see the best one.
Thanks again
