[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1081980, member: 211504"] I don't mean to sound condescending, but if you have highs and lows quite often, that's not a statement most of us would associate with tight control. I say that because in this case, it makes a lot more sense to address the underlying issue (in this case, insulin management) rather than look for a temporary fix (glucose). Unfortunately, what you're asking for doesn't scientifically exist. You cannot create energy only transfer it. In this case, that means getting that energy from carbohydrates (sugar) and eventually turning it into glucose. Coke has a lot of calories because it contains a lot of sugar. That sugar is best to avoid when possible (why I suggest addressing your insulin issues), but there's no way around avoiding calories if you're trying to correct a hypo. [/QUOTE]
