Hi all - I was just wondering... is there any reason that people do/don't use honey to treat hypo's?
I've only experineced a couple of lows - not full blown hypos - but did use gluco-tabs both times as I was out and didn't want to drop lower.... gosh they taste disgusting don't they?!
.... so, I was just trying to think of an alternative - and a friend mentioned the sachets of honey you can buy, which would definitely work in terms of ease of carrying around.... but would they work in the same way? Any reason not to use them...?
Thanks!
