You can also buy the glucose tablets pretty cheap at walmart. For some

reason they wont work well with me. But they taste good...lol Has anyone

tried that glucose liquid in a tube? I was wondering how it worked. Its

expensive. Like $12 for 3 tubes. I keep thinking maybe I should get a

package and keep it in my purse sinse sometimes my sugars drop way to low.

An alternative that works as well, but is a lot cheaper, is those little

tubes of decorating frosting available in grocery stores. (Ski Patrol

members carry them regularly as part of their " pack " in case a skier has a

hypo problem on the slopes.)
