[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1854310, member: 110569"] You are right to experiment with jelly babies. There have been several different suggestions of how many to take for a hypo (but not explaining the size or manufacturer they are talking about.) Bassett's did fun size packs of mini jelly babies which contained 16g carbs but I haven't been able to find them recently. These were perfect for hypos (avoiding temptation to continue eating a large pack). I am considering writing to Cadbury to find out what's happened to them. I now carry packs of Asda's mini jelly babies. They don't taste as nice as Bassett's but aren't bad. To decide how many to take for a hypo, I weighed them and calculated that 5 sweets contain 15g of carbohydrate. I gave up buying large packs of jelly babies as they went hard if there was a long time between hypos. Jelly babies are perfect because they don't take much chewing but not good if they are hard.
