[QUOTE="iHs, post: 146558, member: 8799"] Can I just say that although chocolate might not be the favoured medical way of heating a hypo, but that's not to say that it doesn't work. In fact it works extremely well and has bought me out of my hypos fairly quickly. When I was younger I nearly always used 4 squares of Dairy Milk and it took no more than a few mins to have its effect. It's no good trying to coax someone who is very hypo to take glucose tabs, Lucozade or any other glucose type liquid if they are not going to comply because they don't realise how hypo they are and have possibly become argumentative, BUT give them a piece of choccie, swiss roll, bread and jam and they will most likely jab it from you. The issue of hypo compliance is never fully discussed amongst HCPs but should be. [/QUOTE]
