Hi @Kaate I use glucotabs, take 3 and treat them like medication, I prefer using these to anything else as it's an easy way to control the amount you take, anything else and I can easily over treat !

I use Haribo Sqidgy Strawbs - they're 5 carbs each so easy to have the right amount - maybe find some sweets you can eat?
As a bonus they are virtually indestructable in my pockets, they don't crumble, they don't melt, they don't make a mess, they may get a few dents in them when being prodded by my car keys but they do reform

I'm a big glucotab fan, as they come in a resealable and refillable waterproof container. (You can also buy refill tubs of 50 and, an added bonus, the sealable waterproof tubs for my diabetic testing strips are exactly the right size for about half a tube of glucotabs.)
