Trouble with Jelly Babies is they taste soooooo good. I end up over-treating and having to bolus for them
I think you mean hypo stop or what ever it's called now a days. It's very expensive and tastes vile. Cheaper and better tasting option it to buy some liquid glucose from the cooking section of a supermarket. The NHS is broken enough without people expecting it to pay for hypo treatment.Hey all - for yonks I've been buying Lucozade Sport Gel, to aid with any hypo's I get. I understand you can get something similar on prescription, and therefore free? Anyone know what they're called?
Thanks in advance.

I can attest to the fact that glucogel tastes awful and is highly vomit inducing!! It is however available on prescription at your drs discretion. You may also be able to get glucotabs on prescription. If I was you (and I'm not!) I would stick to the sports gels, far far nicer (and they ain't great!)
Having paid National Insurance for 30 years, everything, that's what. And as they provide the sugar gel anyway, your point is redundant.
And thanks for the recap of what Insulin is.
