has anyone got any advise for me.
As part of my job i can be out in the middle of nowhere for long periods of time. I always carry a bag with me which contains BM monitor, chocolate, lucozade (drink + Tablets). If my BM is low i will take something, but obviously all these things that i carry are quick and short acting. All the advice that i have had so far is that you correct your lows with sugar and then eat something long acting like toast. My problem is that it is totally impractical for me to carry bread as im on "call out" and never know day in day out when im going to be called out. Does anyone know of a food stuff that would provide me with the carbs i need that is in packet form and with a relatively long shelf life. oh and by the way my bag gets a hammering so crisps and all things delicate are out of the question.
