What's the wierdist thing you have eaten when low?

[tomvonc]

I was driving m ybosses car the other day, so no Lucozade in the glove compartment and I had forgotten to bring any Glucose tabs with me. Stuck in traffic and felt a hypo coming on. Desperately scrabbled around looking for some carbs. All I could find were some dog biscuits. Carbs are carbs I guess ;-)

This is brilliant, come across scary times where I have had nothing on me the time my sugars go low which makes you panic but luckily a local shop gave me something

Ella's Kitchen make pouches of mushed up fruit for babies with health conscious parents. I was driving the family to a kiddies party one day and had nothing in the car other than my son's emergency supply (i.e. just in case he didn't like the party food). My hypo took priority, and I recovered unbelievably quickly... shows the amount of sugar in those pouches... but it's good, isn't it... all fruit sugar

And what you really want to know... He loved the cake and treats there, so didn't miss the fruit pouch at all.

I once had to scavenge blackberries off some bramble like some feral person!

I have also eaten dextroxe tablets that I found in my pocket,... they'd been through the wash.

Diabetic chocolate that I'd put out of the children's reach. It didn't really help tbh lol

@petsnponies - I once got caught short and had to scavenge blackberries ... didn't do anything for me :*(

Nothing I can say would beat dog biscuits I'm afraid, anyway a close call Tom!!!!

It's not a strange food but it was a strange experience . I was dreaming of toast and jam and I could even smell it, I woke up having a hypo and the toast and jam is my hypo cure when I'm at home


Type 2 diagnosed 24/01/2013.
Novomix 30, Victoza, metformin 2000mg sr (but not taking them as they play havoc with my insides,

Me and my boyfriends dad both have type 1 diabetes ... And dogs. So our emergency supply is usually dog treats or dog food haha!
Maybe we should start carrying sweets with us instead of dog treats!?
