Well, sought by ahì I said that there are glucose gels that can be carried in your pocket in case there is hypoglycemia.

I carry three or four sugar involves in aluminum foil and they never broke.

Does anyone use gels?

Thank you.

Since I met the glucose pills I no longer have remains of sugar through my bag.Gels of glucose to me, I suppose that because of the texture, I do not like anything so I do not use them, although I suppose they will be a good option to carry in the bag or pockets.

If you want to gossip the pills search on the Diabetika website, there are several flavors;)

I do use them, and they are very comfortable.Its effect is very fast, but come on, this goes in tastes.

If you want
Do you know if there are them with sugar lump?Because it would be the only way for me to replace lumps for something else.That and that comes out cheaper than a lump, of course.

@12mas37 There are flavorless but logically, they are not cheaper than a lump

Hello!

I only use them extraordinary.If I'm going to make a long walk or go several days on vacation, etc.But Normal I don't use them, they are very expensive (in my opinion) and for a "normal" hypo it is difficult for me to handle because then they upload me a lot.I've been with candies for a while, because sugar already gives me a lot of disgust.

Yesterday I bought lemon flavor.I always carry sugar but I recognize that I leave my mouth pasty later, so I pass through the pharmacy for another reason and bought them.
They are rich, they remind me of the sudrales when I was little, those who got rid of in the mouth and then stung a little.2 pills are 5G HC, so for a Gordas hipay they are not worth, it would need at least 4.

I used these gels for a long time and apart from being expensive, they cloy me too much and sometimes I don't need 15 g to overcome a light hypo.Use sugar and glycoup pills both in 3 Y.5 g hc format, thus I avoid rebounding
