Still confused about the frosting question

[Guest guest]

Ok, I read the couple of responses I got---and thank you for responding. But I

am

still confused.

I am a type 1 diabetic, and sometimes my BGs drop low fast. I do not like using

those

tablets as they are waaay to dry and make me gag and I can't get them down. I

usually drink juice, but I was looking for an alternative to carry around with

me and

this seemed like a good idea as it could be small and concentrated.

The gels for diabetics I've seen are VERY expensive and only available online.

The

decorating gels I see in the supermarket do not seem to have any dietary

information

on them except the ingredients.

I live in NYC and so my main concern is for when I am on the subway (I don't

drive a

car) or, say, in a meeting or in class or something. At my office I keep juice

around.

But those little juice boxes bounce around my bag and leak after a week or so.

I will

sometimes carry candy (Mike and Ikes seem to work well) but I worry about

overtreating as, well, candy is good. ;-) So, this seemed like a good option.

Soooo, can anyone make a recommendation to me? Or tell me the brand name of the

stuff you use so I can check that out?

Thanks much,

I carry a bag of M&Ms around with me. That way I can feed the low

sugar problem without over doing it. It takes a little practice

getting the right amount correct but it works well for me.
