Hi all,
I’m sort of getting sick of apple juice, just wondering what foods/tablets or whatever it is that you all use when going hypo?

Thank you
 
I use Lift (previously called GlucoTabs). If I start getting sick of them, for me it means I am having too many hypos so take it as a hint to review my insulin regime.
That said, they are not supposed to be something I enjoy - they are medication for a medical condition.

I know others use Jelly Babies and Haribos but leaving sweets around seems to be too tempting for others in my house.
 
I use the 4 oz containers of Juicy Juice or an 8 oz can of regular Cherry Coke (depending on where I am - at home Juicy Juice, out of house the Coke).
 
Don't get many these days but jelly babies are great.
I also steal sachets of sugar from coffee shops for an easy to carry around top up.
 
I also use jelly babies, 5 carbs each so easy to work out how many to have, they're also virtually indestructible - which helps when in pockets with various other bits and pieces.
 
Another vote for Jelly babies, to me they are far too sweet to be tasty so easy to ignore unless needed
 
I,also, carry sugar from Coffee shops with me for a quick top up. No Hypo awareness.
