Quick thinking when going hypo

I don't usually get hypo and I said in a recent post that I have glocose tabs in all my pockets. Well today, i got it wrong. I went into town and walked for ages, collecting loads of little things I needed and a carb counter book from our local Freecycle. i'd had bacon and eggs for breakfast, but missed lunch. I felt myself running out of fuel an fished in my bag for glucose. NONE THERE!. Now what. Most things availble in a hurry would send me too far the other way. I had an inspiration in my foggy brain. I went for a coffee and put a sachet of sugar in. They contain about 5 g sucrose I think, which breaks down to about 2.5 g glucose. Sat 10 mins, felt better. Went for bus. Caught the one that comes to within 300m of home. Have now checked an BG is 4.8. I got that bit right anyway. My pedometer says i've done 8256 steps. That's about 3 1/2 miles. Just getting neccesary shopping.

I have got so used to not looking at the cakes that I have to confess I didn't even think of it. I did look over some eclairs a while ago, because someone on here said they aren't too bad for carbs, but when I checked in my book, the only ones I found were about 30 carbs. I can see that homemade ones with unsweetened cream and low sugar chocolate could be quite low, because each one ends up with very little flour in it.
when we were children, my mother used to put my brother and me to making eclairs, because he had the strength for all that beating and it stopped us squabbling. I haven't made them for centuries though

Now profiteroles!!! Have I got ingredients to make some for Sunday lunch dessert?

Dear Silverandebony
I am a T2 and rarely go hypo, but I do take Starlix occasionally if I'v gone higher than I like to be, Ie above 6. I also walk miles and do water exercises on a low carb diet. Anyone. not just a diabetic can go hypo on that.
I wasn't in any danger. Probably got down to about 3.5 as I was 4.8 after the coffee and the bus ride home( plus walking to and from the bus stops)
I have a a car, but prefer to use the bus to save the planet and my wallet. I had a 3 hour outing and spent nothing on travel. If I'd used the car, I would have needed at least £5 for parking plus fuel and wear on my tyres. Not to mention my Co2 emissions (from a 1.9 turbodiesel)
