[QUOTE="camparisoda, post: 2076607, member: 495359"] Hi Winnie! I would definitely recommend dextrose tablets or Glucojuice - assuming you're in the UK, you can get them in Boots. They are by far the quickest way of bringing up your blood sugar. You can also get boxes of Glucojuice on Amazon, if you prefer to stock up. To avoid forgetting a hypo kit (which is very, very easily done!), I try to put a packet/bottle of either in each of my handbags. If I was out and caught short, I used to stop in at a shop and buy Coke/Lucozade/any other sugary drink. However, these now have less sugar in them than they used to, and I find I have to drink quite a lot of them to bring my blood sugar up. Things like Fruit Pastilles work for me, but everyone is different. I always tell my friends and family not to get me chocolate bars or cake when my blood sugar is low - they just don't bring it up quickly enough (and once they do bring your blood sugars up, they send them sky high!)
