Ken,

I always have some hard candy available. That brings my sugar up nicely.

They have the glucose tablets, I've been told milk is

good. The nutritionist told me to carry a tube of

cake icing with the top already popped open so that I

could squeeze a bunch down my throat if I needed to

without fumbling with opening it.

Ken,

I've not had low bg's before, myself, but I know some people keep

Lifesavers on hand...you could also have some orange juice or a

banana....

No fainting for you!

Ken There are all kinds of things in the drug stores for low blood sugars,

but the best thing I have found is keep OJ onhand, coca-cola hard candies or

something like that. Yougurt also is good. The very best thing I have found

on the market is glucose tablets. They come in different flavors, and

dissolve in your mouth. Really easy to use. Hope you find something that

works for you. It has taken me 28 years to find this solution.

Thanks Ric,

That Easter candy I have left over (Made by Necco) shoots it up about

30-40 points fast. Found that out the hard way.

LOL!! Yeah, I'm six foot and that's a long way to fall. I had a buddy

who was hypoglycemic and he collapsed in a restaurant. I didn't even

get to eat my meal. His blood sugar was in the 40's. Some excuse!

Just inconsiderate I say. :-)

Ken,

You can buy glucose tablets at the store(I know WalMart carries them). Also,

something like orange juice, coke(the soft-drink), etc. will raise the sugar

levels back up.

He,he. Well, I wouldn't suggest both at the same time. Either one or the

other.

I'll get some. Do all diabetics have such swings downward or upward?

I tested soon as I got home today and was 108. You don't want to

know what I had for lunch. :-)

Ric,

I think that's what took me to 547. I was sick and not moving around

much and munching those Necco Easter eggs and swizzling Coke. I ate

a small handful the other night and in 2 hours was up 30 points.

Damned good though. I'll keep 'em around for emergencies.

Well, *I* wouldn't even if I weren't watching the carbs because of the ice

cream. It bothers my sinus. ARGH.

Sheila

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sheila,

Since I live out of Wal-Mart I'll get some. Wash 'em down with Coke

(yes!!!). Do I HAVE to have low blood sugar for this? :-)

Thanks, Sharon,

I guess that if this happened once it can happen again and no

telling if it will stop in the 70's. You've been diabetic for 28

years? Man, you people got guts.

Thanks, Joanne,

Glucose tablets must get into the blood stream faster than candy or

Coke. Anything else you can think of that a type 2 should keep

around the house?

Sheila,

I'm trying diet A & W tomorrow. I guess it's asking too much to throw

a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it for a float? :-)

wondering what you meant. LOL

I just wanted to make sure that I was being perfectly clear. I thought

someone might pick up on that if I didn't do that.

Hey, Breyers makes a pretty yummy no-sugar-added vanilla ice cream. Go for

it!

Peace,

Willie <--actually got a little weepy when she realized she could still have

milkshakes and floats (the nsa variety, that is!)

I used to snort but the bubbles tickled my nose. :-) Never could

No No not even diet ice cream sorry to be a party pooper. Your eating too

many sweets for being a dabetic you really should limit sweets to maybe once

a week ya know Ken or you will wind up with a bad case of Neuropathy and you

dont want to know what that feels like.
